A ‘hip pointer’ usually is a bone “bruise” on the iliac crest of the pelvis (or the hip joint itself) which may or may not be accompanied by a “bruise” VS “tear” (a tear is worse than a bruise) in the external oblique? Severity & therefore healing time varies. Can be 1 to EIGHT weeks.
Fuuuuuck.
Watched video in slo mo.
Looks like contact was not very intense.
Looks like he got zapped in the area of the left iliac crest.
We can only hope that this was an uncomplicated, low grade bone bruise on the iliac crest and/or a low grade bruise (NOT tear) in the adjacent external oblique muscle.
I am guessing they do an MR.
Hopefully, 6 days of intensive RX with get him ready for next Sunday.
