UH QB Keenum Has Successful Knee Surgery

Injured Houston QB’s career at a crossroads as he mulls return, draft

Injured UH quarterback Case Keenum attended the Coogs' win over Tulane last Saturday.

Houston Cougars quarterback Case Keenum underwent successful surgery on his injured right knee, head coach Kevin Sumlin said Wednesday.

Dr. Walter R. Lowe — the team physician of the Texans, Rockets and UH — did reconstructive surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Keenum suffered the season-ending injury trying to make a tackle after an interception during a 31-13 defeat against UCLA on Sept. 18. A fifth-year senior from Abilene Wylie, Keenum is fifth in NCAA history in passing yardage (13,586) and eighth in touchdown passes (107).

ORIGINAL STORY:

UH QB Keenum ponders future as surgery looms

Case Keenum is still working his way through a bewildering swirl of thoughts and emotions, of past tense, present and future.

His mind keeps gravitating toward the future, as uncertain as it may be. The future offers more hope, more possibilities, than the painful and unchangeable present.

Keenum is hobbling around on crutches, unable to continue his duties as the Houston Cougars’ starting quarterback and unofficial coach on the field. The senior season for which Keenum sweated and sacrificed so much ended abruptly when he blew out his right knee in the third game. Dr. Walter R. Lowe — the team physician of the Cougars, Texans and Rockets — will perform reconstructive surgery on Keenum today to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Unless Keenum receives a special medical hardship waiver from the NCAA, he has played his final college game. Given the timing of the injury, Keenum will be hard-pressed to put his best foot forward for prospective NFL teams before next April’s draft.

Rock, meet hard place.

“I want to play football for the Cougars — right now,” Keenum said. “This next Saturday. But that’s not going to happen. As far as the future, there’s no telling. I want to play football. I don’t know where that’s going to be. That’s something I love doing; it’s a big part of me.”

Speaking publicly for the first time since he suffered his season-ending injury, Keenum said Tuesday he doesn’t know how he’ll proceed. Keenum, an eighth-place finisher in the 2009 Heisman Trophy voting and the UH career passing leader, can petition the NCAA for another season of eligibility. He plans to graduate in December, and the 2011 NFL draft is next April 28-30.

The season began with Keenum on track to become the NCAA’s career leader in passing yardage and touchdown passes. It will end with so much left undone for Keenum, an Abilene native who had longed for one last chance to lead the team to a Conference USA title.

“This is not a fun experience, and I don’t wish it on anybody, but I’ve said this about a lot of things: It could be worse,” Keenum said. “It’s never as good as it seems, and it’s never as bad as it seems.”

UH coach Kevin Sumlin will not give advice to Keenum about what do to in the future unless asked for it.

“As I told him point blank, ‘You’ve done everything you can for the University of Houston,’ ” Sumlin said. “ ‘You don’t owe us anything. If you want to come back, I’ll be the first one to shake your hand — and probably hug you and everything else — but you need to think about yourself. You’ve done so much for this program and this university.’

“I don’t know where, but I don’t think you’ve see the last of him playing. And it shouldn’t be.”

Appeal no done deal

Keenum is trying to decide whether to file an appeal with the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility. According to the waiver criteria laid out in 14.2.1.5.1 of the NCAA Division I Manual, such an appeal could be problematic:

A waiver of the five-year period of eligibility is designed to provide a student-athlete with the opportunity to participate in four seasons of intercollegiate competition within a five-year period. This waiver may be granted, based upon objective evidence, for reasons that are beyond the control of the student-athlete or the institution that deprive the student-athlete of the opportunity to participate for more than one season in his

her sport within the five-year period.

The NCAA does not consider taking a redshirt year, which Keenum did in 2006, to be beyond an athlete’s control.

“The good thing is that no matter which way I go, I’m going to push to get healthy as quickly as I can,” said Keenum, who is fifth in NCAA history with 13,586 passing yards. “It really doesn’t matter where I’m playing. I’d like to know (what the future holds). ... But that’s not really the pressing issue right now. The pressing issue is to get completely healthy.”

For Keenum to be eligible to play in 2011, he’d have to be enrolled in school next spring. The session starts Jan. 18. The NFL draft, meanwhile, falls seven months after Keenum’s surgery. New England Patriots receiver Wes Welker turned heads with eight catches in the 2010 season opener just eight months after tearing an ACL against the Texans.

Another variable: The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement expires in March, opening the possibility of the owners locking out the players for the 2011 season.

“Depending on if he does the rehab right and he doesn’t suffer any setbacks, he should be able to throw for scouts close to the draft,” said one AFC scout, who requested anonymity. “He won’t be able to go through a bunch of the drills, because they’re about mobility and agility, but doctors will be able to tell how the surgery went, how he’s recovering and if his timetable’s on schedule.”

Scout.com had Keenum graded as a fourth-round 2011 pick and the seventh-best quarterback prospect. According to the Scout rankings, Keenum is behind Washington’s Jake Locker, Stanford’s Andrew Luck, Arkansas’ Ryan Mallett, Missouri’s Blaine Gabbert, Florida State’s Christian Ponder and Delaware’s Pat Devlin in the pecking order.

“If you look at the top guys that will or could come out, it could be a great quarterback draft,” said an NFC scout, who requested anonymity. “I think (Keenum) would have been a mid-round prospect. He lacks size and isn’t real fast. He’s got the intangibles, leadership and toughness, and he’s got a decent arm.”

‘He’s going to be fine’

Keenum long ago grew accustomed to having to prove he’s better than advertised. He arrived at UH as a lightly recruited two-star prospect.

“I just feel fortunate to be around him for the last three years,” Sumlin said. “We’ll see what happens, but like I told him, he’s going to be successful no matter what happens. It’s not what happens to you. It’s how you react in those situations that’s going to define you. And he’s going to be fine.”

Dr. Walter Lowe to Lead Orthopaedics at UT Medical School and Memorial Hermann-TMC

Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:00:00 GMT

HOUSTON – (July 31, 2009) – Walter R. Lowe, M.D., the new head of the orthopaedic programs at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center, has been treating Houston’s top professional and college athletes for more than a decade. He is a team physician for the Houston Texans and Houston Rockets, as well as the University of Houston, Strake Jesuit College Preparatory and North Shore Senior High School.

Lowe has been named the new chairman of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston and the chief of Orthopedics at Memorial Hermann-TMC. Lowe, an orthopaedic surgeon who graduated from the UT Medical School in 1983, will assume his new positions Aug. 15.

“Dr. Lowe has distinguished himself in the field of orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine,” said Giuseppe Colasurdo, M.D., dean of the UT Medical School. "I am certain he will build an extraordinary department with emphasis on the highest standards of patient care and service. And I am confident that he is particularly committed to the advancement of our educational programs."

“My No. 1 priority is to make sure the orthopaedic surgery residents get the best training possible,” Lowe said. “I want to grow the department and recruit top faculty members. Memorial Hermann and the UT Medical School have the commitment to do just that.”

Lowe, who has been a medical director of the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Institute since it opened in 2007, is looking forward to the challenges associated with his new role at its flagship hospital.

“Dr. Lowe’s skill as a surgeon, his broad sports medicine experience and his commitment to exceptional patient care have been and will continue to be a great asset to Memorial Hermann-TMC and to our patients,” said Juanita Romans, CEO of the Memorial Hermann-TMC Campus.

Lowe specializes in the care of injured knees, shoulders and elbows. Lowe also treats joint problems that are congenital or develop through normal wear and tear.
Lowe studied under legendary baseball doctor Frank Jobe, M.D., who in 1974 pioneered a procedure to repair injured pitching arms called the “Tommy John surgery.” John was the first major league baseball player to receive the operation technically known as an ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction.

The son of a football coach, Lowe played high school football in Las Vegas, N.M., and tennis at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colo.

Helping athletes return to the football field or basketball court is gratifying, said Lowe, a native of Denton, Texas. “You are giving people back a lifestyle and a way of life,” he said.

Lowe completed a fellowship at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, an internship at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth and a residency at Tarrant County Affiliated Hospitals in Fort Worth. He is a member of the National Football League Physicians Society, the Association of Professional Team Physicians, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and the American College of Sports Medicine. He is the only active member in Houston of the ACL Study Group, an international organization consisting of a select group of highly-specialized physicians. Lowe also served as a team physician for the Houston Oilers before they moved to Tennessee in 1997 and for the Houston Comets, which suspended operations last year.

Lowe’s medical education experience includes 14 years on the faculty of Baylor College of Medicine, where he has been serving as director of the Baylor Sports Medicine Fellowship and chief of the Sports Medicine Section.

He also was the chief of the Sports Medicine Section and served as medical director of the Roger Clemens Institute of Sports Medicine and Human Performance. He serves as the team physician for the Houston Texans and the University of Houston.

In his new role at the Medical School, he also will serve as medical director of orthopaedic surgery services at Memorial Hermann–Texas Medical Center and LBJ General Hospital.

“Dr. Lowe has distinguished himself in the field of orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine,” said Dean Giuseppe Colasurdo. "I am certain he will build an extraordinary department with emphasis on the highest standard of patient care and service. And, I am confident that he will be particularly committed to the advancement of our educational programs."

Lowe is a 1983 graduate of the Medical School and completed an internship at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, an orthopaedic residency at Tarrant County Affiliated Hospitals, and a fellowship at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles. He is certified in orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine.

Teen Athlete Continues Active Lifestyle Thanks to Tissue Transplant

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:00:00 GMT

Seventeen year old Chance Murski from Richmond, Texas, was born with a discoid meniscus. Sometimes called, Knee-Popping Syndrome, a discoid meniscus is an abnormally shaped meniscus within the knee joint. This can cause a popping sensation with pain over the outside part of the knee joint. Many people live normal, active lives with a discoid meniscus--even high performance athletes.

Unfortunately, this was not the case with Chance. Whenever he bent his right knee, a “pop” could be heard. He had his first surgery at the age of five. At that time, the surgeon told Chance’s parents that he would have to have another surgery in his teenage years to allow room for the growth of his femur bone.

Chance started playing baseball at the age of six in the position of catcher. In 2004, Chance’s team, the Lamar Blaze, advanced to the Little League World Series and won. Shortly after this accomplishment, Chance was scheduled for additional surgeries.

The Murskis felt guilty for allowing Chance to pursue athletics. Their surgeon, Dr. Walter Lowe, assured them that this surgery is common in catchers. He told them they should be proud of Chance for what he’s been able to accomplish thus far with his birth defect.

One year after his surgery on February 5, 2008,

Dr. Lowe released Chance to start jogging, swinging a bat and throwing a baseball once again. By the end of the season, he had the top stats out of 20 baseball players on the Junior Varsity High School Baseball team.

“With out the donor, modern technology and the obvious passion of this surgeon, Chance would not have a normal knee, and much less be able to pursue his dreams,” stated Chance’s mother, Tara.

Cutting Edge Technique Improves Long-Term ACL Reconstruction Results

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:00:00 GMT

For many athletes who experience debilitating injury to their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) – the ligament that keeps the knee in place – getting back to the same level of performance is difficult. But doctors at the Roger Clemens Institute for Sports Medicine & Human Performance at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center offer an innovative surgery that can help these athletes return to play – and still maintain a healthy knee decades down the line. It’s called the double-bundle ACL reconstruction.

“Unlike traditional ACL surgeries, double-bundle ACL reconstruction recreates the normal anatomy of the ligament,”explains Walter Lowe, M.D., co-medical director at the Roger Clemens Institute for Sports Medicine & Human Performance at Memorial Hermann and chief of sports medicine, department of orthopaedic surgery, Baylor College of Medicine. “This technique is supported by the biomechanical literature and has been performed in other countries for years with excellent results.”

Dr. Lowe, who performs up to 350 ACL reconstruction surgeries each year, has extensively studied doublebundle reconstruction in Germany. The procedure is new to the United States but currently offered by Dr. Lowe at the Rogers Clemens Institute.

The ACL at Work

The ACL, which connects the thigh and shin bones, is comprised of two bundles of ligament tissue that fan out through the knee. These bundles keep the knee stable by preventing the shin from sliding forward at any range of motion. Many sports require a functioning ACL for moves such as quick turns and pivots.

Double-Bundle Benefits

In traditional ACL surgery, the ligament is replaced with a single graft of tissue that’s bundled together to connect the two bones. In contrast, the double-bundle technique uses two grafts, which better control the rotation of the knee.

“The technique recreates the old ligament as it was,” says Dr. Lowe. “As a result, it provides excellent long-term function and, unlike traditional surgery, reduces damage to the knee’s cartilage, lowering the risk of arthritis over time.”

Dr. Lowe explains that not everyone is a candidate for this surgery. For example, the reconstruction takes longer to heal, so it’s not appropriate for those who want to get back to high-impact activity immediately. He also stresses that the double-bundle technique is not the only way to fix an ACL injury. Single-bundle reconstruction is still an appropriate solution for many people.

A Biomechanical Wonder, 100 Times a Game

Fri, 04 May 2007 17:00:00 GMT

THE long spring windup is over. Major League Baseball begins its 2007 season tonight, and for the league’s 360 pitchers, the challenge not only will be to win, but to stay out of the doctor’s office over the course of the 162-game regular season.

Using your arm to throw a baseball 95 miles an hour or more has long been considered about as natural an act for a human as flapping them while jumping off a cliff. Almost every pitcher in the major leagues undergoes surgery at some point in his career — often several times. Many sport six-inch scars running up their elbows and shoulders like luggage zippers, where ligaments and tendons have been relocated from remote bodily locales.

Pitching is a biomechanical wonder, says Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. A ball thrown by a professional takes less than a half-second from the time of release until it slams into the catcher’s mitt some 60 feet away.

Accelerating the ball from zero to more than 90 miles an hour is a task so demanding, Dr. Wright says, that a pitcher’s shoulder and elbow experience near-failure forces with every pitch. And, Dr. Wright says, “a pitcher has to recreate that amazing force 100 times a game.” It’s no wonder, then, that pitchers usually have to rest four days after every game.

The seeming inevitability of pitching injuries has led some baseball experts to handicap a team’s pennant chances not by its ability to sidestep defeats, but to sidestep orthopedists. The cliché has evolved from “Pitching wins championships” to “You can’t have enough pitching” to “Whoever’s pitchers stay healthiest will win.”

To put it another way, as the Boston Red Sox ace Curt Schilling often does, “The team whose No. 1 through 5 starters make the most starts will win the division.”

Teams have grown more protective of their pitchers over the past 20 years — thanks largely to guaranteed contracts, which discourage teams from burning out arms — and have embraced the use of pitch limits. Whereas Nolan Ryan would often throw 150 pitches in a game, few pitchers today reach 120 or even 110 without extreme scrutiny from the team’s front office and the talk-radio firing squad.

Debates rage over how 90 pitches can be far more strenuous for a pitcher than 120 depending on the types of pitches and the tightness of the game. But the click-counter has joined chewing tobacco and a strong rump-slap among pitching-coach essentials.

“I think that you don’t have a set, fast rule, but you pay close attention when that pitcher gets up around 100 pitches,” the St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach, Dave Duncan, says. “You do all of the things that you can to give him the best chance to be at his best during the course of the season. Part of that is to not run him into the ground at any particular point in time.”

Starting this spring, Little League Baseball, which has 2.3 million players worldwide, will use total pitches (as opposed to innings thrown) to determine when a pitcher must leave the game.

So Play Ball! At least until the clicker says you can’t. ALAN SCHWARZ and GINA KOLATA

Psychological Issues Related to Injury in Athletes

Fri, 05 Jan 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Team physicians must address the physical and psychological issues related to athletic activity. This athletic activity may result in physical injuries, and these injuries produce a variety of psychological reactions. Additionally, psychological factors, especially stress, are an important antecedent to injuries, play an important role in injury rehabilitation, and contribute to successful return to play. While noninjury psychological issues related to athletic activity exist, they are outside the scope of this consensus statement.

Unique knee injury jeopardizes tackle's care

Fri, 05 Jan 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Texans rookie Charles Spencer has a metal plate and about eight screws in his knee. The fracturethat ended his season after just two starts has healed.

That doesn't mean the Texans will have their starting left offensive tackle back any time soon, though. In fact, what appeared to be a bright NFL future for Spencer is now in question because of cartilage around his knee that was damaged as a result of the injury.

"It's certainly an injury that threatens a guy's career, especially a guy like Spencer," said Dr. Walter Lowe, the team physician who performed Spencer's surgery Sept. 18. Among the 17 players who landed on injured reserve this season, Spencer has the injury — a fracture of the tibial plateau — that most concerns the Texans.
