John Wall INJURY | Haglund Deformity Explained by Doctor

John Wall is scheduled to undergo surgery to correct a Haglund deformity and damaged Achilles tendon.
I'm a doctor and a sports fan and in these videos I combine these two interests to help explain sports injuries. In this video I'll explain what a Haglund deformity is and why undergoing surgery could help prevent John Wall from an even worse surgery down the road.

Yes please

[@mcray0309]

This is a good idea

[@canalabas787]

You gotta do this one, Brian!

[@SethKasso]

Easily one of my favorite channels. I've got a ton of respect for people who can make the complex understandable and you do that very well

[@jason12jamrouk]

Could you also do Chris Bosh’s Blood clots?

[@lebronjames7041]

Jason Harrison that's a good one

[@kharis87]

Lebron James how long again until your new groin muscle is built?

[@montyburns4977]

kharis87 steroids wearing off, he realizes he can’t race against Father Time without being publicized even more for taking steroids due to how bad his surrounding team used to be, now he doesn’t have to take steroids since he is in la although he will still be super athletic but only for a couple more years but will still be unstoppable

[@yannickkimenyi6807]

yes yes yes!!

[@batsman46]

JermondC. WilliamsJr. Stop comparing yourself to lebron just because y’all both black 😂 he’s a freak of nature as are other athletes who come in all sorts of ethnicities...

[@blakerankin7735]

Ryan Shazier spinal injury?

[@McLovin25165]

One of the best channel ! 💕👏🏼

[@newera3787]

Love watching these videos. Helps me understand other medical terms and explain things to others that they may not understand. Also helps me understand why an athlete is out or in a lot of pain or things along those lines. Keep up the videos!

[@vbkdkfkfkfkfn596]

Please continue these videos they are so informative and still fun and we fans get to know different injuries Great video as always

[@pilo2263]

This channel is amazing!

[@spencerlist7028]

[@ethannguyen866]

Very unique channel. It shouldn’t take long before you get big

[@noahhorn1579]

This is so awesome! I’m a freshman pre-med major, and all through high school, sports were my focal point. These videos bring my two passions together and it’s so awesome!!

[@5naxalotl]

when i was younger i was desperate to see this sort of information about NBA injuries, but there would be a few brief articles mentioning an injury and no serious technical details. i know that many fans are getting a great deal out of these vids

[@milbhighlights6898]

Thank you for another entertaining vid appreciate it keep grinding 100k will get here soon

[@the13rook]

Your channel's growing man! I hope they actually put you on ESPN or something for everyone to fully understand these injuries.

[@izayahrichardson5761]

Could you go over the Ryan Shazier spinal injury?

[@Ken-pk8pt]

RxC3 clan why? I thought it was pretty obvious what happened to him

[@bengervin4873]

Ken this guy just explains things, very, very well

[@parker2089]

I’m a physical therapy major and these videos and soo interesting and will be helpful in my classes!

[@jeremiahchacha9668]

I'm currently a 3rd physical therapy student and I enjoy your videos! They are accurate and informative nice job!

[@pedrolopez4555]

John Wall out 12 months with an Achilles injury this dude is 2 for 2 this season. Please work for the Bulls Brian!

[@ewanrobinson7832]

Keep on up what your'e doing man! These videos are very educational and interesting, the way you translate complicated medical talk to lay man's terms is phenomenal.

[@chrisnewsome7551]

Love this channel man, keep up the great content.

[@godpigeon2784]

Do Ohtani’s Tommy John injury and why people predicted this before he got injured

[@gage2818]

Bro I actually have this on my heels to so that makes this video even more entertaining to watch and learn about. Great content love your channel keep it up

[@michaelwatkins9479]

Another great video. I always learn something new. Ive been subscribed for a little over a month and every video you make gets slightly better each time. Keep up the great work man.

[@randommusician96]

Really liking these videos! Thanks for the great content.

[@edmitch39]

I had this surgery in June 2017, so little over 1.5 years ago. I have been a marathon runner since 2003. It was a problem that started for me in 2011, but in summer 2016 in got much worse. I tried conservative treatment for almost a year and then had the surgery in June 2017. I was jogging 3 months after surgery. I am now back to running 50 miles/week, and trying to qualify for the Boston marathon. The heel feels almost 100%. I would highly recommend this surgery for people who have this problem if it dose not get better with conservative treatment.

[@gothops2632]

That's great to know. Who was your surgeon?

[@spanishmeatloaf7901]

I believe he had Dr. Van Nosterin.

[@MrCHI2cool]

This channel is so informative. I fully expect you to reach a million subscribers in the next couple years.

[@herryjia]

Awesome video! Keep up the great work!

[@fatfuck2384]

Great content delivered in less than 10 minutes. Subbed

[@Kenstar365]

Can I reiterate how great these videos are?! Now when there's an injury, I'm thinking "I can't wait until doctor brian talks about this one"

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Love hearing that!

[@diegohernanrotili9771]

Excellent video. I am from Argentina and suffered always increasing pain on my heeL for near ten years. It all started after an ankle sprain and a bad recovery. Associated problems were back pain, sciatica, calf pain, popliteal fossa pain. Had surgery two weeks ago, removing Haglunds deformity, cleaning a calcified Achilles tendon, partially cutting the calf muscles at their origin to relax them (they were shortened) and removing a retrocalcaneal spur (below the tendon insertion point)

[@guardme5306]

Can you do a kyrie Irving broken knee cap that happened a couple years ago in the NBA finals... I broke my knee cap November 31st and had surgery on December 1st when I was going up for a dunk after practice and my tendon pulled the bottom of my knee cap so I’m missing my whole freshman year...

[@tomascbonez6355]

Guard Me that sucks, hope you come back better than ever 💯💯

[@guardme5306]

Crazy Jay thx lil bro I’m doing rehab 2 times a week just got done with my 2nd session and I’m raising and walking with no crutches this injury happens to less than 2% of sports injuries

[@Gmartinez0518]

Love these! Please keep it up 🙇🏽‍♂️🙇🏽‍♂️🙇🏽‍♂️🙇🏽‍♂️

[@DrAdnan]

Great breakdown! Hopefully John Wall gets back in shape soon 💪

[@connorwalser1294]

I really love these videos! U do a great job explaining everything making it easy to understand. A future suggestion would be doing an achilles tear like what happened to Kobe and Boogie. Keep up the great work!

[@meeee500]

Nice vid Doc 🤙🏽

[@burakcimen8354]

Hey Brian, recently found your channel. Really cool. Keep going!

[@Bimmeraudi1]

This channel is great.

[@123456ashake]

This was hands down more useful than my actual doctor. Great video, and lots of good info on whether to get that surgery or not

[@solum_]

How do you not have 1 Million + subscribers? Amazing content doc 😁

[@jamesobrien3025]

I think you doing these videos on sports injuries is a great idea, and you have great charisma, and a solid way of explaining things so that it really is understandable to the common person! I think it could help improve your videos if towards the end you could relate what you’ve explained to the specific circumstances/instance of the players’ injury, like break down the actual footage of the injury occurring, or showing possible supporting evidence of gradual injuries/or bad form. As they are your videos start talking about a specific player and their injury, then speak to the medical side of things without really talking much more on the player side of things. Just a some possible constructive feedback that you didn’t ask for :) You have a new fan/sub anyways man and I’ll be watching all your future stuff!

[@jamesonjunge5662]

Can u do Allen hurns next?

[@kencallis8649]

Jameson Junge yes

[@parker2089]

Yes

[@TerpyOG]

Great idea for a channel! Excited to see where this goes!

[@ivanjibs702]

Very informative. Thank you sir

[@TheVirtualBomb]

Not sure if you’ve done it already but a video about Kobe’s achilles injury would be interesting!

[@jad5802]

He's done a video about it already. Just search in his videos. :)

[@TheVirtualBomb]

Jolly Koala Hmm, I looked and couldn’t find it

[@mykiee5638]

Would be kind of boring, its an achilles tear, thats all. Players like john wall, dwight howard, markelle fultz and etc. Those are the more interesting ones

[@TimDaGoof]

Could you go over caris levert's injury

[@rollopolo49]

Espn actually needs this guy. Props to you!

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Too kind, thanks!

[@HoleintheMeadow]

You should do Boogie and Achilles injuries, but you should wait until he comes back so you can get the crazy views from that headline. I'm pumped for whatever you got, man. :) Going over CP3 or DRose would be solid. Or just Thibs and his odd...correlation with injuries for his star players.

[@BrianSuttererMD]

Did drose. Filmed one on cousins already, just don't have it up

[@HoleintheMeadow]

@@BrianSuttererMD true! I just would love to see your opinion on the connections between his three major career ending injuries. Cause Westbrook avoided that by changing up his running form and etc.

[@bradsack6946]

Do a video over Hayward’s injury please

[@Quicktwosteps]

I think I have that. On both heels. Yes, I play basketball. The pain goes away when my feet are active. I alleviate the pain by warming up first with stretches and light work out then I continue with actual activity. However, as soon as I cool down or rest for thirty minutes or so, I start limping and hurting on either foot. Same goes when waking up in the morning. I'm going to consult my doctor on this on July. I don't know if my insurance covers me on this situation.

[@peterf.229]

so for the surgery do they remove the bone "spur" so it stops agitating the Achilles?

[@christcheumani7949]

Bro you gained 300 subscribers in 3 days insane!

[@johnlubin1787]

Hey Brian, can you do a vid on nerlans Noel? I know that he got brain trauma but can you explain at what point he got it? I think his temporal lobe hit against his skull when he hit the ground, but it also could have been when he got elbowed in the head in the air on his frontal lobe.

[@garrettborgen5089]

Can you go over Zach Millers knee injury or Allen Hurns leg injury in the game against the Seahawks??

[@rphxcam1]

Thank you. I’m currently a month into recovering from my second bone spur removal and Achilles debridement. It took about a year for full recovery on the first one but i can tell I’m way ahead of that schedule this time.

[@robertwoodifse]

Hey man about to get this too, what were your recovery timelines like? Like when you can start walking, doing some form of training again etc

[@rphxcam1]

@@robertwoodifse it’s 3 weeks no weight bearing. Then 3 weeks walking in a boot. So you’re walking about 6-7 weeks after surgery. I’m 14 months out now and finally back to pretty much normal. Find a good physical therapist that will do resistance training with you. I didn’t this time and it set me back a few months I think. Im 51. I play and Coach soccer so I’m very active. I’ve been playing through the pain for about 4 months and it’s finally almost gone. Stay ahead with your pain meds and take laxatives!

[@deanhampton1527]

Would love to see a video on MPJ and his back issues as well as the microdisectomy.

[@samatarMohamed]

Doctor I have a question, every time I’ve been having dealt hefty good old fashion steamers and it’s making my tailbone sore from the time I spend on the toilet. I feel some swelling at that point, do you you recommend I cut a pillow in the shape of a toilet seat to alleviate the pressure on my ass? Please advise I’d like to know if this is sanitary enough to only change once a year as I can’t afford to but pillow since I am prioritizing charmin ultra absorbent two ply toilet paper. Thanks!

I have a Haglund deformity on my right foot. Sometimes it flares up and I limp around for a few days. Most of the time it doesn't bother me too much. I'm considering the surgery, but I've heard that the recovery is long, and the docs have to detach your Achilles tendon.
