Just come across this and thought it shows a great example of how much a players body can change following an injury and why there can be such a long return time and also why many go through other injuries as they try and get back to pre injury football.

That's quite incredible.
We do tend to hear of lots of players who have a major injury and then it's followed up by further injuries and I think there's often a link. What we don't hear about so much is players who have a serious injury and then return with no real issues - is this because it doesn't happen or because we don't tend to hear/notice it.
It would be interesting to see some data on the recovery rates for those with serious injuries who don't have a reoccurrence /related injury afterwards |  |

I ruptured my achilles a few years ago playing 5 a side and ended up in a boot for 9 months in the end. When the boot was gone my calf was less that half the size of the other, though I do have chunky legs.
Being a man in his mid 50's, even now there is a considerable difference ebtween the two, I'm sure if I were still in my 20's playing lots of sport it wouldn't be the case. I was actually shocked at the muscle wastage even in a barely fit, overweight middle aged man. |  |

I had my arm in a sling for 6 weeks after my first shoulder operation. Just raising my arm above my head was an effort.
After my last operation on it, I was out of the sling quicker, but the physio really had to work with my arm to get range of motion back.
Nice to see you back too. |  | | |

The Quads are the fastest wasting muscle in the body ... and take months of rehab to regain ( if ever fully) ...but for elite players that 1-2 % can make significant impact of their performance at the higher levels. |  |
