Medicine can do wonders but with A-Rod’s 38th birthday in July it’s doubtful he can make a full recovery. We’re talking about a hip surgery and all of the torque that goes into putting a good swing on a ball. The surgery will take place in January because he will need about four to six weeks to just strengthen it before doctors go in to repair a torn labrum, bone impingement and a cyst, making that first surgery pale in comparison to this one.
While everything worked out smooth the first time around with the right hip, the chances of the left hip being affected were very likely.
“Basically once you have to have surgery on one joint, all the other joints may be affected because even if the surgery went perfectly, there is no way to exactly replicate the natural balance and structure of the body. All the joints work together for normal movement,” Dr. Imani Jackson-Rosario of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey told Fox News Latino.
“Surgery on one hip can affect the function on the rest of the joints, including the other hip. But sports place strain on the body due to repetitive motions and movements that we may not be naturally designed for. And once there is any injury to a joint, the body is never exactly the same.

A-Rod’s hip is fine. The prick just wanted to take half a year off and get paid as pay back for the benchings and trade rumors.

The good news is that I’m signed for another 5 seasons so you don’t have to worry about me leaving in free agency!!

The Yankees are probably going to collect like 70% of his salary due to insurance. So that will give us another 20 mil to spend next year right? RIGHT!?
Bud Selig December 5, 2012 11:49
Nope.

Unfortunately, I believe the insurance only pays off if he misses the whole season. Gilooly (sp?) anyone?

I can think of about 114 reasons as to why we will see him again
and it will be great. glorious, even.

He just needs a few dimes. Moshe’s miracle juice.

even if you have that much, would you really cough up any of your jew gold?
OK, now hand over the real bag of jew gold. Everybody knows all jews have a fake bag to throw people off.

I know nothing about baseball because I just said “movements that we may not be naturally designed for.”
Someone please inform me that clown that this is hip injury. One purpose of the hip IS to rotate.
This is what happens when you systematically inject chemicals into your body to alter your genetic max.
Sensitive RAB Guy December 5, 2012 04:17
right, our hips were designed to rotate millions of times, at that velocity / torque, every day for 20 years. brilliant.
Of Course! December 5, 2012 14:48
You GOT IT! You’re the PED GURU!
Hence the long, mind boggling list of MLB athletes undergoing hip surgery due to “injecting chemicals”.
oh… no… wait. There isnt one. You’re just a fool.
Fact: there is more money spent each year on PED research than on a cure for cancer.
Some one should slap you in the face if you think Arod is in the MINORITY regarding PEDs.
you ignorant moron

This whole team isn’t long for the glue factory — when Gardner & Cano are the young guys at 29 & 28, or whatever.

Matzo December 5, 2012 15:59
This team has serious last place potential. Hopes riding on a 43 yr old closer. Two 40 yr olde starters. And an offense that is now losing a RF, C and 3b.
