    Are we not sure that some sort of injury didn't aggravate the bone in the first place? They could just be using a common term for his condition, for those of us who aren't doctors.

    I need you to research and understand "Jones Fracture". The failure rates for this surgery are extremely high and healing takes much longer than normal bones in foot because of a total lack of blood supply and damage to the periosteum associated with the surgery.

    Then you would understand this isn't just some broken finger, and when guys like Sammy Watkins and Dodd try to come back after 8 weeks you know why it doesn't work. Me and Riverman said all summer to shut him down and just call it a Redshirt year, otherwise you do more damage with multiple surgeries, revisions and bone grafts.

    Cheers

    You don't call something a Jones Fracture if it isn't. It's a specific injury

    This is the first I've heard of it being a "Jones Fracture". Hopefully he recovers.

    Says you may not know there is a fracture and healing could be delayed if bones don't unite. Some concerns going forward if this is what Dodd is experiencing

    " - involves frx at base of fifth metatarsal at metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction, which typically extends into the 4-5 intermetatarsal facet;
    - Jones frx is located w/in 1.5 cm distal to tuberosity of 5th metatarsal & should not be confused w/ more common avulsion frx of 5 th metatarsal styloid;
    - this fracture is usually proximal to the metatarsal cuboid joint;"

    the most common post surgical complication with a Jones Fx is a non-union, ending in an additional surgery called a "Revision".
