Very knowledgeable doctor, but I need answers now!
Tldr: Idk. It depends
“Closed isolated iliac wing fractures (no opening in the skin) can typically be managed non-operatively and heal very reliably.”
Thank the lord
Let’s hope it’s just a few months and not 6 🥲
I understand why the team can’t say anything regarding it, but the time to heal for this thing has a massive range.
The doctor said it could take up to 6 months to fully heal. If that’s the case this season is cooked.
The reality is that there’s a huge amount of uncertainty regarding Chet’s return and the fanbase needs to be aware of that and be prepared.
