Jiri Prochazka OUT of UFC 282 with 'Worst Ever' Shoulder Injury - Doctor Explains

[@BrianSuttererMD]

I just saw Jiri’s instagram post and he said he’ll be back in 6 months. That would be the standard recovery for the usual shoulder dislocation surgery and makes more sense then the initial ‘one year or more’ timeline

[@johnvu719]

Interesting he's not in a sling though. Usually need 4-6 weeks post reduction no?

[@westernpigeon]

he's being super optimistic but his own team said he'll most likely be out for a year or more

[@josephroy7021]

Agree, I have 1 and 1/4 " of the bone sticking upward and the accident was 2/2017, and I thank my Shoulder Specialist for not recommending surgery, he reiterated the surgery could actually worsen the initial injury and I am able to do what I could before, only pain is tying shoes, and brushing my teeth.

[@josephroy7021]

Not about me, I am lucky, two dudes switched seats illegal and they crushed me, and the Dr said the required surgery would invade areas that aren't injured, and the only way to fix it is a full reconstruction, which is risking the chicken wing on the back, and it's a crazy surgery, I meant it as a joke, 99% of surgeons want to cut, cut, cut, and I was surprised to hear the complete opposite of what I was expecting. If it came of wrong, unintentional, for some odd reason I look deformed and tying my shoes and brushing my teeth hurt more than throwing a ball, punch, I was curious what the Dr would say. Believe me I woke up in the middle of the street saw the driver switch to passenger seat and I tried to swing at him, and it looked like What Happened to Sweet Dreams, I have no idea how I healed, shoulders are strange like Dr said. Believe me the last thing I would want to be about me was that injury, I need a bra for my left chest and the shoulder is the right and I feel crooked, my bad if it came across wrong, probably the strangest injury I've ever felt and the healing process put fwd by the DR. I Thought he was nuts. I hope Jiri doesn't have the ball injury, not about me trust me

[@josephroy7021]

@Ima about tobe koed Buckley face Is this the man, the myth, and the legend? Joaquim New Mensa Buckley? And I am not that person, I was looking at it in a completely unrelated way at first, Seeing Jiri relinquish his Strap and in my opinion I don't see Bones v.s Blaydes, and relinquishing immediately It makes me wonder if Jon Jones will fight Jan or Glover and upon Jiri's return the winner of the Interim Strap Fights Jiri, I am going off Chael P and his strong belief that Jiri v.s Glover 2 was the least rematch the UFC ever wanted to make, and truthfully I can't see Dana putting Jones v.s Blaydes simply because it's not a draw, My injury has 0 to do with this, but I am interested in any matchmaking moving forward, Jon v.s Jiri is insane $$, so until we hear facts we can only hope. Glover and Po Atan in camp is tough especially when 1 is a Champ and the 1 person who Alex has to make him improve quickly would be in camp, I think Jiri is injured, but it came out of nowhere, yea freak accidents happen, but he was stated that he was at the end of camp, and you know it's pretty hard to find out what is really going on. Please don't say all about me, I am not that person, I enjoy stirring up the pot, but injuries sustained in MMA, no, I don't go there. ✌️ and let's hope for the best possible match up possible. My bad if I came off wrong. If you are an MMA Fan I am with you.

The insight you bring to MMA related injuries is so unique. Thanks for your analysis and wishing Jiri a speedy recovery, one of the most exciting fighters in the sport today.

[@xaininpc5625]

As active as Jiri usually is about trying to avoid going all the way down when being taken down, I wouldn't be surprised if the mechanism was more like him being taken down and posting an extended arm to try to catch himself before landing completely on his back. Which depending on the positions of both people can greatly increase the chance for injury. Wouldn't it maybe also make more sense as to the severity of the injury, since those posting injuries typically involve the weight of both people being loaded all on the extended arm? In any case, such a shame to happen to such a classy warrior and great champion, who probably didn't even give a second thought to holding on to the title and risk holding up the division. Just hope he gets to heal at least close to 100% and make a comeback.

[@xaininpc5625]

@- I think only slightly delayed but not held up. Glover refusing to fight somebody else for the title on short notice doesn't mean he will wait an entire year just to fight only Jiri. Only that in this situation, he really wanted the runback with Jiri and maybe didn't want a short notice shortcut to the title and opted to wait and see how bad it was with Jiri. Now that we know, Glover won't wait a year. He'll wait until both he and whoever gets the title will have a full camp and no excuses and he will hope to have the title when Jiri makes his comeback and they can rematch at that point. Jiri's out of the picture for now and even he himself would say whoever has and defends the belt will be the true champion.

@@digitaltennisshoes isnt that like every fighter tho? Plus hes already 43 so cant blame him on that

[@2HighNoon]

If he landed inverted on that shoulder right in say a throw or grapple situation, It’s possible the ball was literally shoved into the socket with high enough unpack to dislocate it inward shearing the socket and causing fractures everywhere, ball, scapula and joint. Torn tendons, the works. If Dana says worst ever you have to think this was all out wrecked. May be career ending unfortunately. 😞

[@jlo2o199]

this is crazy sad. the man was finally reaching his prime, he's just been getting better and more mature and disciplined for years now in front of us until becoming the champ. Always amazes me how athletes are expected to come back, then perform after sustaining injuries that shut most of us down forever.

[@jonnyboyd7715]

I've had shoulder problems my whole life they pop out then back in alot, now that I'm older its constantly herting and weak.

[@TheGreatChrisB]

Athletes always downplay injuries so it doesn't hurt their value. When people say "it's really really bad", it often means that this was already an ongoing problem and it finally fell over the edge. I wonder if he's had shoulder issues before that went untreated or were rushed through recovery and now it all came back to bite them.

Every other champ holds up the division with surgery without a thought. Jiri is the samurai.

[@edwinlomonaco6754]

I recently suffered an axillary nerve injury from riding motocross. And let me tell you the pain of the injury is nothing I've ever experienced. And I'm 2 months post and my deltoid is still paralyzed. It is slowly coming back. But barely. My deltoid has already atrophied significantly. It really sucks. You don't realize how important the deltoid is until you lose it. It's hard to use your arm for pretty much anything. From brushing your teeth to showering. You literally cannot raise your arm in any direction. Even sleeping can be difficult because if you're lying on your back and won't to shift position you can't move your arm with you. You have to use your good arm to move your bad arm and adjust. So if the UFC is saying the worse they've ever seen. Wouldn't surprise me if it's an axillary nerve injury.

[@adamedwards2261]

Same injury that kept me from playing football at Ohio State on full scholarship. Mine also had a torn biceps head and shattered collarbone.

[@rafpog]

"It's very uncommon for somebody who's young to have a rotator cuff tear when the shoulder dislocates." Jiri is known to have extreme training sessions, like punching a tree 500 times a day... Could this kind of training damage his shoulders and cause injuries like these?

Yes

Even if he did recovery time for something like is incredably short and would not be cause for vacating the belt. It simply wouldnt hold up the division he would be out from either 2 to 3 months at most. Furthermore it would not require any rehab either.

[@davepurcell1318]

I threw a weird overhead punch over a year ago with full force and while I was cold. Due to previous impingement I have had in my shoulders due to a lot of boxing my subscapularis tendon totally tore off the arm bone and retracted and also my bicep tendon ruptured. Was real strange seeing my arm just drop out of the air before it found its target mid punch and then the unbelievable pain set in like electric shocks non stop shooting up my arm. Hate to say it but it was in a street fight, I managed to follow up with a hook that backed the guy away which was lucky because I couldn’t move my arm after that, then we went our separate ways. I’m abit embarrassed about it as I’m a 52 year old father so I tell people it happened in a fall. Had major surgery and has taken me a year to recover and finally get back in the gym again. I have a feeling Jiris injury might be similar, you have to be careful throwing weird angle punches with force. I didn’t start the fight it was a random asshole looking for trouble, a lot of them around lately.

Having a normal shoulder dislocation. Is there workouts to strengthen the muscle around it?

[@brianmcafee348]

Yes, you can strengthen the muscles around your shoulder; however if you have instability with a dislocated shoulder, you need additional treatment-PRP or surgery. If you don't it will eventually dislocated again and again. I've had 3 shoulder dislocations over 30 years ago. It wasn't until I had surgery the shoulder dislocations stopped. If your older and inactive, you may get away with not having additional treatment. If not, your asking for additional pain, which it was the most painful injury I've had by 10 fold. I have broken my ankle and arm.

Great content as always..

I have a 5th °tear and some nerve damage and I was hit by a SUV Going 50 mph, and my Dr recommended not to have surgery, I am fine except for the distorted look, saying that a cadavers Ligaments, and whatever else will never be as strong as mine

I have a recurrent shoulder dislocation, it keeps happening twice each year, especially during boxing/ jiu jitsu sparring sessions. Do you think I should go for surgery?

[@juspete5527]

No quit doing those activities. Watch the dillashaws last fight. It just going to happen more and more.

What about an AC joint injury? I had one of those, got nicknamed batman cause the clavicle stuck up like a folded bat wing. After 4-5 months they did a mumford on me to clean up the joint. They didn't want to attach a ligament over the clavicle cause that would restrict range of motion. Was effectively out about a year with rehab after the surgery. My docs weren't as good a professional athlete's docs so that may be good for him.
