He's not going to have enough points for the smx playoffs here shortly. 

Looking a little rougher for Craig now, just moved to 20th in the standings

He should still be a shoe-in for the LCQs, but bummer for him to have to go to them.

I had a non union in my foot that turned in almost losing my lower leg. Infection and broken hardware , I had one of the top orthopedic surgeons in the area fix it after it did not heal the first time ( He is   currently  head of Orthopedics in a major Boston Hospital ). and it did not work. But it was on a bone that got very little blood flow . 3rd time was the charm, well so far.....  

I think that its more common in Pro's because they have more extensive follow up visits. I had been cleared 2 times to ride . Both times after doing all the PT, using any device they said to use etc. First time was a regular orthopedic surgeon , second time was a sports specialized orthopedic surgeon  who only worked on top Athletes or people that had big issues. He worked on Red Sox players, Olympic Skiers', etc. The process I went through with him and his team was much more extensive than a regular Orthopedic and PT   . Much more extensive PT and more imaging of the injured area.  So in my opinion a higher chance of finding an issue.  And still with all of that extra stuff, the specialized machines to help healing along, extra X rays to check , I still had the area end up not being totally healed and some hardware failed . If not for the major infection I might not have noticed the slight cracks that were there until I had another crash.  

Cracked bones do not always result in pain or other indicators until another impact or time goes by.

Head of or top of or fancy titles = has many other interests beyond the operating room and spends less time involved in patient care or operating. People have a hard time understanding that medicine isn't like a lot of the world where superior talent in the main thing is what leads you to the top. It's not that at all. Clinical skill is almost entirely independent of how high you climb the ladder in medicine. If your heart and soul is into being the best you can be at the daily grind of clinical work, you don't end up the head of anything. Only your patients know your name. So often I hear these credentials thrown out there and they do not mean what you think they mean. 

Some people have horrible luck, some fractures won't heal, some hardware will break. Take any individual case and you may not be able to draw any conclusions about anything. Everything may have been done perfectly. But when a certain population of people starts having bad luck far more often than others, it's probably not without explanation. 

He had operated on me in 05. Long before moving to where he is now.I listed his current credentials only  to show that he was still a highly accredited Dr.  Back then he was known as  the best orthopedic foot surgeon  in the New England  area .

But my point was more so that even with doing everything as well as possible,things still can go wrong.And that  the process of being cleared by him, A sports  specialist ,was much more extensive than the other times I had been cleared . With more imaging, and more stress being put on it ( and the rest of my body) before being cleared.  So somebody going to a Dr. that specializes in rehabbing athlete's is going to have a higher chance of catching an issue than somebody who has a regular orthopedic clear them.

With other PT. they focused more on range of motion and just the injured area.  The process with the Sports Orthopedic was a PT for my entire body. To get me back to where I was or better than before. getting me back in shape so I was really able to return to riding and not ride back into shape.  And there were more X rays taken , a more through process.  So more chances to catch an issue.  So I would think that more issues would be caught. I would think that most Pro athletes would have more extensive rehab processes like I had with the Sports Dr. than with the regular  ones. Regular people may be walking around with unhealed bones and just not know it was my point. And Pros may have a higher % of non unions only because a higher % are diagnosed than with regular people.  During my time searching out a Dr. to fix me, I spoke with  other local racers who also had found out years later they had unhealed fractures.
