Redskins Training Camp Thread 2.0

a scope isnt a surgery. a "scope" means making a tinnie tiny incision and sticking a tinnie tiny camera through the incision to see what is going on . . i could be completely wrong.

You are.

You are.

scope in medical terms means to take a look.

fluroscopy or fluroscopic guidance = procedure done while viewing through a live xray

arthroscopic/arthroscopy = procedure done while viewing through a tiny camera

the term "arthroscopic surgery" is loosely used to mean that the doctor looked into a joint via arthroscopy and then cleaned up any scar tissue/chipped cartilage (debridement) but "arthroscopic" is not its own type of surgery or procedure.

really besides the point though and im dont care either way.

The NFL Injury Report: Redskins' Phillip Thomas suffers sprained foot (http://www.nflinjurynews.com/2013/08/redskins-phillip-thomas-suffers.html?m=1)

Hopefully just a sprain and no ligament damage.

I dont know if anyone was there, but camp got crushed by thunderstorms today. I was on my way there about 1:30 when I got caught on the Shocko Valley Bridge when the rain started crushing the road. Heard from a friend it was a total clusterf*ck getting out.

Hopefully just a sprain and no ligament damage.

Technically a sprain is ligament damage. :cheeky:

I knew what you mean, just had to tease ya.

Shanny reported in his news conference that Thomas had nothing seriously injured as in a facture or ligament damage according to Kliem at espn

I was under the impression that a scope also involved sucking out any super small bone fragments, swelling etc.
