Membrey Knee Op

[st.byron]

From Stavro4 on Big Footy quoting Tom Browne on Twitter :

“Just a brief one from St Kilda, forward Tim Membrey is having a clean up / operation on his knee.

Not ideal timing obviously “

Then Stavro wrote :

“ Tweaked his knee last Friday in a marking contest but ran around the boundary afterwards. Looked minor but obviously a bit more to it.

Makes things difficult but hopefully back in 2 to 3 weeks if it’s just a clean up.

Lets hope for a bit of good luck soon!”

What else do you have a clean up for - its always a piece of meniscus floating around the knee causing it to lock.

Membrey is expected to be available for St Kilda’s date with Fremantle and is slated to resume full training within the fortnight. The 28-year-old hasn’t missed a game through injury in three years, last being ruled out in late 2020 with a fractured finger.

“It was really pretty minor to be honest and we were going to push on, but we thought this was the time to have a look at it,” Harvey said.

“He’s had a full summer and he’s barely missed a session, so we’re really happy with where he’s at. In the actual session he was fine, it was just a couple of times when he was getting out the car, he was catching it a bit.

“Thankfully it was as minor as we thought it would be. Reports were all good so we’re expecting that he’ll be ok for Round 1.”

No but have had plenty of knee surgeries - do some research.

Dr Google 5 suggests the five most common reasons for knee arthroscopy include:

Torn meniscus. The meniscus is a piece of cartilage in the knee, made up of collagen fibers that run in opposite directions. ...
Removal of bone or cartilage fragments. ...
Swollen synovium. ...
Torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ...
Popliteal cyst.

Now what do you think is the most probable????

From the hun.

"Tim Membrey is the latest St Kilda tall forward to go down with injury leading to coach Ross Lyon admitting the club is planning a new way to ‘manufacture’ goals come round 1.
Chris Cavanagh

February 17, 2023 - 12:50



St Kilda has been dealt another injury blow just a month out from Round 1, with key forward Tim Membrey having undergone minor knee surgery on Thursday.

The Saints remain hopeful that Membrey will be fit to tackle Fremantle on March 19, but he will miss the club’s two pre-season matches against Melbourne and Essendon in what shapes as a far from ideal preparation.

St Kilda is already without fellow key forwards Max King (shoulder), Jack Hayes (foot) and Matt Allison (foot) for the start of the home-and-away season.

“The reports are all good,” St Kilda forwards coach Robert Harvey said of Membrey’s surgery.

“He’s had a full summer. He’s barely missed a session. We’re really happy with where he’s at. It’s a minor setback but we’re totally expecting that he’ll be back for Round 1.”

Membrey, 28, finished as St Kilda’s second-highest goalkicker behind King last season with 34 majors from 22 games.

He has kicked 34 or more goals in six of the past seven seasons.

While Harvey said King was “right on track” with his recovery from shoulder surgery and was “looking forward to getting back”, his absence for the start of the season will force the Saints to play a smaller forward line

Senior coach Ross Lyon said on Thursday that with the growing list of injured talls, St Kilda would have to look to the Richmond 2017 model of trying to bring the ball to ground in attack to “manufacture some goals” through their smalls.

The Saints signed 19-year-old key forward Anthony Caminiti through the AFL’s Supplemental Selection Period on Monday, but Harvey warned that he was unlikely to start the season in the senior side.

“Talls can take time,” Harvey said.

“He’s coming from a long way back. What I will say is he’s attacking it so well, he’s got great attributes, he’s athletic, he’s a good size at 198cm, he launches at the footy really well. So we’re excited but we won’t get too ahead of ourselves with Round 1.”

Why do AFL footballers need their knees cleaned up?

AFL (Australian Football League) footballers may require knee clean-up procedures to address a range of issues related to their knee joint, such as cartilage damage, meniscal tears, or loose bodies (small pieces of bone or cartilage that float around in the joint). These issues can arise due to overuse, trauma, or degenerative conditions, and can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility.

Knee clean-up procedures, also known as knee arthroscopy, involve making small incisions around the knee joint and inserting a tiny camera and surgical instruments to assess and treat the problem. During the procedure, the surgeon may remove damaged cartilage, repair torn ligaments or tendons, or remove any loose bodies.

AFL footballers are at a higher risk of knee injuries due to the high-impact nature of the sport, and the repetitive running, jumping, and twisting motions involved. Knee clean-up procedures can help to address these injuries and improve the player's overall knee health, allowing them to return to play and perform at their best.
