Now we know,why baker will play forward,has the tank and hardness and would be a good Lambert replacement
The article is really dumb. One moment it refers to Hurley having a hip replacement and maybe Lambert having something like that done, then says it was actually re surfacing that Hurley had in September. (Would imagine it'd be hard to play AFL footy after a proper hip replacement i.e. metal ball and socket).
I suspect Lambo has had a labral tear repaired, had some more problems, and might now be looking at some FAI re surfacing. Cue Mr John O'Donnell in Richmond.
I've had the latter done on both hips. Took about 9 months to recover but I had a lot of bone taken out - 1cm off the entire circumference of the ball in one of the hips. Lambo might be much less invasive. Hard to know. Just guessing.
Seriously shitt news for Kane and the RFC as well
Looking like those bone spurs he had in his hip surgically removed had chewed out his cartilage now the hip is degenerating and breaking down bone on bone.
That's what they do and this is often the result.
However there must be a recurrence or the remaining cartilage that was left has worn down as a result of the wear and tear.
It makes sense to me he had hip issues again last year and they tried to manage them he never returned to real form when on the field and now we know why.

Good for Burge to come out & clarify Kane's position. Timely work by the club.
This also explains why Hugo is having so much time put into him.
Probably going to take the mantle in this role, or possibly even Aarts might be given a run at it.
Either way they've been planning for this eventuality since last year, well aware it could be the case.
Depending on the surgical intervention taken it might not be that simple.

Well explained BTR. I had hip resurfacing done on both hips 13 years ago at age 36. I was on crutches for about 4 months. Have been pain free since then and was told they would last around 10-15 years before I would need to have full hip replacement surgery. Will be seeing my specialist in a a few weeks for a review. I’m pretty sure these days that the resurfacing is keyhole surgery so I’m guessing the recovery time could be quicker. Wishing Lambo all the best if he has to go under the knife.
Yes. To me, the term hip replacement means a full artificial replacement of the ball and socket using metal prosthetics and effectively driving a stake into the thigh bone as the anchor for it all. Lambert nor Hurley as Dr Bruukner pointed out, are having/had that done. Unless there’s been insane advances that I’m not aware of, that would render you incapable of playing AFL football I’d have thought.
Re surfacing can be with or without a cap. Mine was without, albeit a lot of bone taken out.
I can’t speak to the industry research re benefits of re surfacing or not, but I can tell you personally my hips were a mess before I had mine done and have been ok since (except for bursitis) and I’ve hopefully delayed or prevented even, a true hip replacement.
O’Donnell did surgery on Murray again about 12 months ago which has allowed Murray to continue playing when it looked like he was cooked a couple of years ago. I know John pretty well. Seen him a few times the last couple of months. Big Demons fan unfortunately.
That’s been around for a long time. Matthew Kreuzer had his hip re surfaced as a preventative measure in his first couple of years of AFL footy. He had a boney prominence on the ball that it was thought would cause problems further down the track. Simply had debridement of the ball, and whilst he had a heap of other health issues, I don’t think his hip was one of them.
I had the same thing done albeit I was already having probs. Geez I couldn’t even get out of the car. Finish 18 stiff and sore etc. Apart from tronch bursitis from where the scope went in, haven’t had a problem in the 9 years since.
Probably, yes. Had it just in time I feel.
I had a scan 4 weeks ago - just to check on the best way of treating this annoying bursitis. The joint was really good. There was next to zero degeneration from pre surgery status.
Must say though, the surgery was a *smile* to get over though. Months of daily wading in Port Phillip Bay in the middle of Winter. 9 months in total. Hope Lambo has a less invasive procedure.
Yeah. I would say so. You know much better than me, but yeah, personal experience agrees.
As much as we are potting Geelong for having an old list, it certainly feels like our boys are the ones with the old man injuries.
True, but our boys busted their guts to win 3 flags (i.e. wear & tear), whereas their codgers didn't.
