Browns' Quinn to have surgery

46 minutes ago

CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn will undergo surgery on his right index finger, a procedure that will require up to 10 weeks of recovery time.

Quinn, who has been weighing his options for the past week, will have the operation in Alabama on Wednesday.

He broke the tip of his finger and sustained tendon damage on his throwing hand in a Nov. 17 game against Buffalo. He played the next week against Houston and made his injury worse. Doctors will insert a pin into Quinn's finger to stabilize the bone and tendon.

Quinn started three games for the Browns, who also lost quarterback Derek Anderson to a season-ending knee injury

Wouldn't you shit if they were sending him to Oregon for the procedure?

Yep!

Andrews is tops in the field. He has a career of orthopedic innovation. It would be a total deviation from the norm if Quinn doesn't come back very smoothly.

Without complication, I'd bet Quinn is back throwing again by the end of January or at least first part of February. The 10 week time frame seems ultra conservative to me.

The best thing about this is he is getting it done out of state and not at the Cleveland Staph Infection Clinic!

- Are you implying that by going out of state we can spread the staph infection to them too ? 🤔

He's getting treated by Dr. James Andrews, who is notoriously respected throughout the sports industry. He won't set foot in the Cleveland Clinic.

Doc, I suspect it's number 3.

Yep, I agree. If it were you or me, 2 sticks and some tape would do just fine.

Any set back in the healing over the next 10 weeks could cause us to hold on to DA.

If he gets a staph infection the Browns should seriously switch hospitals.

Pretty sure thats why hes going to alabama for the operation.

Either:

1. Non-union healing is suspected

2. Displacement has occurred

3. He's being treated very aggressively due to his occupation.

I hope the pin and incision doesn't significantly alter the dense nerve map and sensation at the tip of the finger. It shouldn't. I just wish it wasn't his spin finger.

Any set back in the healing over the next 10 weeks could cause us to hold on to DA.
