JOHN SUFFERS SURGERY SETBACK
Wednesday 12 Aug 2009
Crystal Palace striker Stern John is facing around six weeks out of action as he requires surgery to fix a dislocated elbow.
The 32-year-old was injured on his Eagles debut at the weekend and an MRI scan has shown up damage which necessitates an operation.
Palace physio Nigel Cox told the South London Press: "We've had an MRI scan and we've been informed there is some ligament and muscle damage which needs repairing.
"We're looking at around six weeks before he can return. We're devastated and the lad is devastated.
"He's been so keen to prove himself to Neil Warnock and the team since he's come here."

well this is what i know...
i dislocate my elbow years ago keeping in a fete match when a man rock a full bullet from close range just when i put my hand on the ball to save..
most pain ever.. so bad that i experienced a full 20 mins memory loss i.e. is only afterwards they tell me how i cuss de doctor and bawl down de hospital when they was putting it back..
what i was told is that because of the nature of the elbow joint (hinge, not ball and socket), usually it never just dislocates, it also fractures.. when it dislocates like that is real ligament damage.
