Scarecrow Leg Observations/Headcanons

aka I thought about it too much and now it's everyone else's problem.

(important note: I am not in the medical field and I learned/looked up a lot of this with the help of Dr. Google)

The leg brace seems like a simple detail which can be overlooked in the larger design. On the surface, it's pretty straight forward: leg got damaged and now needs an orthopedic brace to function. This in and of itself is interesting since the artist undoubtedly referenced actual braces, specifically old ones, to fit Scarecrow's aesthetic:

This is a running theme with him; he seems to favor old, antique items and will repair things (like the use of duct tape or zigzag stitching for tears on his costume) before replacing them, which fits an image of someone coming from a background of poverty. Not entirely important to the conversation, just an interesting aside.

There is official material which states his leg is "permanently broken", which is probably the easiest, most succinct way to state this issue, but it's not entirely an accurate way to put it. If a leg is considered broken beyond repair, it's likely to be amputated. Bones which don't heal correctly the first time can be broken again and realigned to heal properly, often through surgery with the use of pins, rods, plates, and/or screws. However, "permanently broken" could also be implying he has suffered irreparable nerve damage which affects the use of the leg (more on that in a moment). One possibility: The bones in Scarecrow's leg do not heal properly due to the severity of his fractures likely needing surgery. Unable to access such resources after his run-in with Croc, this results in a malunion. In his case, the misalignment could be subtle as there is no obvious bend or twist in his leg, but still causes problems which requires use of a brace.

Another possibility: Perhaps he is lucky and his leg does heal well. Maybe there's no malunion at all. Unfortunately, whether the bones mend together well or not, evidence strongly implies that it was broken seriously enough that it damaged his peroneal nerve, leading to muscle weakness and foot drop, which necessitates the use of the brace to function.

If you look closely, you can see there is additional support around Scarecrow's ankle that would otherwise prevent rotation of that joint. You can see this in the game when he circles Batman on the airship:

When he takes a step with his good leg, the foot remains more parallel to the floor. Compare that to the foot in the brace, where the toes point upward with each stride due to being in a fixed position. I feel this is a strong indication of him having lasting damage here (such as foot drop) and part of why the leg brace is vital to his mobility (and undoubtedly one of many reasons why he's so furious at Batman).

Something like this often has trickle down effects. Having to compensate for a weaker limb can throw the body off balance, especially if it's a leg. This can create joint and back pain outside of (or in addition to) the issues related to the initial trauma. Combined with the other things he has had to deal with, there is something to be said of Scarecrow's tenacity. He is very driven and ambitious, even if it's the pure, seething drive for vengeance which causes him to persevere. It's a quality one can admire. :)

The rambling ends here, thanks for reading. And an extra big thanks to a very special someone who, without their help, none of this would be possible...I'm of course talking about my guy KILLER CROC for going absolutely feral in those Asylum sewers, really gave Jonny here a spooky glow-up, am I right?

Hi everyone,

My name is Dax Bradley (he/it), and I’m a queer disabled person asking for help to ensure I can stay housed and fed. I am currently on FMLA and in outpatient mental health treatment, but my short-term disability hasn’t kicked in yet. With rent at $1550 a month and therapy costs of $268 per week, I’m struggling to make ends meet. On top of that, student loans are starting up again this month, adding more pressure to my already tight budget.

I also need to address my transportation situation. Walking exacerbates the nerve damage in my ankles, making it difficult for me to get around. I’m hoping to find a solution that allows me to get the care I need without further hurting myself. Additionally, I will need to pay for orthopedics and ankle braces.

Unfortunately, I’m mostly out of contact with my family, except for my dad, who is currently in the hospital undergoing cancer treatment. It’s a tough time for both of us, and I want to do my best to support him while also taking care of myself.

If you can contribute, even a small amount, it would mean the world to me. Your support will help me maintain my housing and continue my therapy while I navigate this difficult period.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your kindness and generosity. For each non-anonymous donation, I'd love to draw you a dragon as a personal thank you.

With love,

Dax

What would Charlie look like?

Golden Heart

Summary: Charlie was the kind of dog you only met once and never forgot. A big, soft, honey-colored golden retriever with soulful eyes and an almost human ability to understand emotion. He’d come into their lives at just the right time—when Y/N’s health was spiraling and the days felt heavy. Since then, he’d become more than just a pet. He was a weighted blanket, a therapist, a shadow, and a security system all rolled into one. Especially for Y/N, whose flare days didn’t scare him. They made him closer.

Charlie was big.

Not just golden retriever big—tall, with long legs, broad shoulders, and a thick, slightly unruly coat that made him look like a walking plush toy. His fur was a warm honey-gold, lighter at the tips like it had been kissed by the sun, with slightly darker ears that flopped forward when he ran.

He had the most expressive face. Big soulful brown eyes, permanently curious eyebrows, and a mouth that always seemed just a second away from a dopey smile or the world’s most dramatic sigh.

He was still young—barely three—but already took his job as “emotion support officer” very seriously.

Especially with Y/N.

When she was doing well, Charlie was playful, clingy, and absolutely obsessed with belly rubs. He’d follow her around the apartment, tail wagging, paws clicking on the hardwood, always convinced that whatever she was doing—laundry, reading, brushing her teeth—was best done with him nearby.

But when her body wasn’t doing well?

That’s when Charlie really kicked into gear.

If her blood pressure dipped, he noticed before she did—pacing, whining softly, trying to herd her to the couch like he was born for it.

If she was having a migraine day, he curled up at her feet, resting his chin on her ankle and watching her like a silent sentinel.

If she passed out or seized, he never panicked.

He just waited. Stayed close. Alerted Connor with a bark if needed. Once, when she had convulsive syncope while home alone, Charlie stood over her, gently nudging her hand with his nose and whining until Connor got through the door.

When she came to?

She was already crying into his fur.

Connor, for his part, adored the dog just as much.

He pretended to be unimpressed—especially when Charlie snuck onto the couch or stole his socks. But Y/N caught him more than once rubbing behind Charlie’s ears while murmuring, ���You’re a good boy. Such a good boy.”

Charlie had his own spot in their apartment—a big orthopedic bed in the living room, a toy basket filled with exactly three plush animals he’d never destroy, and a special drawer in the hallway filled with his things right beside Y/N’s emergency med drawer.

Because Connor took care of both of them.

And in many ways, Charlie helped Connor when even Connor didn’t know how to help her.

Some days, when everything was quiet and peaceful, Connor would find the two of them curled up on the couch—Y/N half-asleep, Charlie’s head in her lap, her hand tangled gently in the fur at his neck.

“He’s like a weighted blanket that loves me,” she’d say with a soft smile.

And Connor would just nod.

Because that’s exactly what he was.

Charlie was:

• 85 pounds of golden softness

• Slightly clumsy, especially when excited

• Unbothered by medical gear or beeping monitors

• Scared of the vacuum but brave in every other way

• Obsessed with peanut butter

• Devoted to Y/N in a way that made Connor’s chest ache with love

And when the worst days came—when the bleeding was bad, or the pain was cruel, or Y/N could barely lift her head—

Connor would sit beside her.

Charlie would curl against her legs.

And together, they formed a circle of calm.

One heart steady. One hand warm.

One tail thumping against the floor, whispering:

You’re not alone.

as a tried n true Professional, do you have any hiking boot recommendations other than the salomons? a lower price point is ideal but I'm more curious than I am in the market and I trust your judgements

Umm Yes Comma. Your mileage may vary in an absolutely huge way. If u would send a second ask with following information; What kind of hiking you want to do, how much outdoors experience you have, how much you plan to beat these up, typical weather conditions, level of ankle support you want, if you have high arches, any existing orthopedic problems, what textile you want (full grain leather? synthetics with waterproofing? vibram sole?), and what kind of shoes you typically prefer in your day to day (do you wear something flat like vans, maybe just sandals, tennis shoes, etc). I definitely have million recommendations but they’re hugely dependent on your personal Use Case so just lmk some of that and I’ll post some links. On the matter of Pricing, hiking boots are one of those things you just kinda gotta spend the money on :,( I got a really good deal on my boots, they were basically half off and I would rebuy them at full price. Always check for sales at local outfitters, REI, the REI resupply program, and direct from manufacturer sales. Used gear with no irreparable defects (soles aren’t worn smooth, lace eyelets and hooks are in good condition, soles and upper aren’t peeling off) then used gear is a great option to get amazing brands at a lower price. So yes tell me your Hiking Business and I’ll post some options !!

a brief update on life and the blog (contains medical stuff)

If you don't want to read, I kindly ask for your prayers :)

Brief introduction: my name is Liv, I'm 27, and I'm an orthopedic/ocology nurse in Florida. Diagnosis with an unknown cause of myocarditis (heart inflammation) in August 2023.

I was expected to make a full recovery within 2 months. January rolls around, I'm still sick. April rolls around, I'm even sicker and they finally test me for an autoimmune disease. Let's roll to today where in 3 days they'll finally give me a diagnosis and treatment for lupus induced myocarditis. Long story short, I have a severe autoimmune condition that is attacking and actively killing my heart.

I'll save the details, but over the last nearly 11 months, I've been in the hospital 6 times and admitted for 2 of them with no answers. This last one was 3 days and I underwent a cardiac cauterization, which is something they do for people who have heart attacks. Luckily, there doesn't seem to appear to be any permanent damage despite my heart levels being the highest I've ever seen in my career.

Bad news is that over the last year, I've suffered intense chest pain that makes it difficult to breathe, my ankles are swelling, and I have no energy and life just overall sucks. I surprisingly never stopped working. However, being a bedside nurse taking care of actively dying cancer patients is just mentally exhausting and one week ago, I finally hit the breaking point and sobbed in the bathroom before my shift started. I still don't have the details, but I've requested an extended leave of absence from work.

In 3 days, I'll finally have an answer. My doctor already warned me that treatment will be intense. I'll be undergoing chemotherapy.

But, hey, guess what? I'm an oncology nurse and guess what I do for a living?

This last year has been exhausting. It's been the worst. I'm very blessed to say that I've never suffered from any mental illness or depression, but in the last three months I really think that's what I've felt. Nothing makes me happy that used to, I've stopped cleaning my condo (and I'm a minimalist who hates clutter btw), my eating habits are trash, I can't exercise since my heart gives out, and I've completely isolated myself from my friends and my wonderfully supportive family. Every time i do go out, I just bring them down, too.

And guess who bought a condo literally one week before this all went down? I'm not in a safe financial position to stop working for a long time, but I can for a brief time. I'm thankful to be where I am in the sense of good healthcare and a small emergency fund.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that my life this last year has been bad, but the last three months have been the worst, so my activity on this blog has been sporadic and inconsistent. I know my writing quality has gone down; I can't apologize for getting sick, just know that soon I can have some answers and recover to get back to where I was.

My faith has taken the hardest hit. I am a firm Christian and I believe in the power of prayer. I'd really appreciate a prayer from everyone, even if you don't believe, it would still mean a lot.

Physical Therapy Clinic in New York City

What is Joint Stabilization?

Joint stabilization refers to the process of strengthening and supporting a joint to reduce excessive movement, prevent dislocation, and improve joint function. In the context of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) or other conditions associated with joint hypermobility or instability, joint stabilization techniques are often employed to address recurrent joint dislocations or subluxations.

There are different approaches to joint stabilization, depending on the specific joint involved and the severity of the instability. Here are some common methods used for joint stabilization:

Physical Therapy and Exercise: Physical therapy is crucial in joint stabilization. Therapeutic exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles surrounding the joint, providing additional support and stability. This may involve targeted strengthening exercises, proprioceptive training (improving joint position sense), and neuromuscular retraining.

Bracing and Orthotic Devices: Braces or orthotic devices can be used to stabilize and support joints that are prone to dislocation or excessive movement. These devices are designed to limit the range of motion in the affected joint while providing external support. Examples include ankle braces, knee braces, wrist splints, or custom-made orthoses for specific joints.

Ligament Reconstruction: In cases where ligament laxity or weakness is the primary cause of joint instability, surgical ligament reconstruction may be considered. This involves repairing or reconstructing damaged or stretched ligaments to restore stability and prevent recurrent dislocations. The surgical technique and specific approach depend on the joint involved and the individual's needs.

Tendon Transfers: In certain situations, tendon transfers may be performed to reinforce the stability of a joint. This involves transferring a tendon from a less important muscle group to a location where it can provide additional support to the joint. The goal is to improve joint stability and function.

Arthroscopic Stabilization: Arthroscopic stabilization is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to address joint instability. It involves using small incisions and specialized instruments to repair or tighten the structures surrounding the joint, such as ligaments or capsules, to enhance stability.

The choice of joint stabilization method depends on factors such as the specific joint involved, the severity of instability, the overall health of the individual, and their treatment goals. A comprehensive evaluation by healthcare professionals, including orthopedic specialists or physical therapists experienced in managing EDS or joint instability, is essential to determine the most appropriate approach for joint stabilization.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Surgical

Surgical interventions may be considered in individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) when conservative treatments have been ineffective or when there are specific complications that require surgical management. It's important to note that surgery in EDS patients can be challenging due to the increased risk of complications related to underlying connective tissue abnormalities. Therefore, careful evaluation and planning are crucial. Here are some surgical considerations for EDS:

Joint Stabilization: In some cases of EDS, individuals may experience recurrent joint dislocations or severe joint instability. Surgical procedures, such as ligament reconstruction or joint stabilization surgeries, may be considered to address the instability and provide additional support to the affected joints.

Spinal Surgery: EDS can be associated with spinal abnormalities, including spinal instability, spinal curvature (scoliosis or kyphosis), or Chiari malformation. Surgical interventions like spinal fusion, spinal decompression, or correction of spinal deformities may be required to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.

Skin and Wound Management: EDS can affect wound healing, leading to delayed healing, poor scar formation, and increased risk of wound complications. In cases where surgical incisions or wound closures are necessary, special techniques, such as careful suture selection and placement, may be employed to optimize wound healing and minimize the risk of dehiscence (opening of the wound).

Vascular Surgery: Some individuals with EDS, particularly those with vascular subtypes, may develop arterial or organ rupture or other vascular complications. In such cases, vascular surgical procedures may be necessary to repair or reinforce weakened blood vessels and prevent life-threatening complications.

Gastrointestinal Surgery: EDS can be associated with gastrointestinal abnormalities, such as hiatal hernias, gastrointestinal dysmotility, or bowel perforation. Surgical interventions may be considered to address these issues, such as hernia repair, bowel resection, or surgical management of intestinal strictures.

It's important to emphasize that surgical interventions in EDS require careful preoperative evaluation, appropriate surgical techniques, and close postoperative monitoring to minimize the risk of complications.

The Role of Regenerative Medicine in Treating Ligament Injuries of the Foot and Ankle

Foot and Ankle Ligament Injuries are common among athletes, active individuals, and even those with everyday wear-and-tear. Traditional treatments—such as rest, physical therapy, or surgery—can often be slow, invasive, or yield mixed results. However, regenerative medicine is transforming how these injuries are treated, offering faster recovery and long-term healing by leveraging the body’s natural repair mechanisms.

Understanding Foot and Ankle Ligament Injuries

Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that stabilize joints. In the foot and ankle, these ligaments endure high stress due to weight-bearing and mobility. Injuries typically occur due to twisting, impact, or overuse, leading to sprains, partial tears, or complete ruptures.

Common ligament injuries include:

Ankle sprains (often involving the anterior talofibular ligament)

Midfoot sprains (e.g., Lisfranc injury)

Chronic ligament laxity from repeated minor injuries

What is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine focuses on repairing, regenerating, or replacing damaged tissues and organs using the body’s own cells, growth factors, and biologics. It includes a variety of treatments such as:

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Stem Cell Therapy

Prolotherapy

Extracellular matrix (ECM) products

These therapies aim to reduce inflammation, stimulate tissue regeneration, and accelerate healing—without the need for invasive surgery.

How Regenerative Medicine Treats Ligament Injuries

1. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP involves drawing a patient’s blood, concentrating the platelets, and injecting them into the injured area. Platelets are rich in growth factors that promote healing. Studies have shown PRP to be effective in:

Reducing pain and inflammation

Accelerating healing in ankle sprains

Supporting recovery in chronic ligament injuries

2. Stem Cell Therapy

Stem cells, often derived from bone marrow or adipose tissue, have the ability to transform into various cell types. When injected into a damaged ligament, stem cells can help:

Regenerate torn or degenerated tissue

Reduce inflammation

Improve joint stability and function

3. Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy involves injecting a dextrose-based solution into the injured area, stimulating the body’s healing response. This method has shown promise for:

Strengthening loose ligaments

Relieving chronic pain

Restoring joint function

4. Extracellular Matrix (ECM) and Growth Factor Products

Bioengineered scaffolds and matrix products can be used to support tissue regrowth. These are often used alongside PRP or stem cell injections to enhance the regenerative process.

Advantages of Regenerative Treatments

Minimally invasive: Injections instead of surgery

Faster recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods

Lower risk of complications

Natural healing using the body’s own biological materials

Improved long-term outcomes for chronic and acute injuries

Who Can Benefit?

Regenerative medicine is particularly beneficial for:

Athletes recovering from ankle sprains or ligament tears

Individuals with chronic ankle instability

Patients seeking alternatives to surgery

Older adults with slower natural healing

Also Read: Sprained ankle – Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Conclusion

Regenerative medicine represents a major advancement in the treatment of foot and ankle ligament injuries. By harnessing the body’s natural healing powers, these therapies offer a safer, faster, and often more effective alternative to traditional methods. Whether you're a professional athlete or someone dealing with chronic ankle issues, consulting a specialist in regenerative orthopedics can help you explore cutting-edge treatment options tailored to your needs.

What pre-operative and post-operative care is essential for a successful hip surgery outcome?

Hip replacement surgery is a significant procedure aimed at restoring mobility and relieving pain caused by damaged or diseased hip joints. Whether the need arises due to arthritis, injury, or other joint conditions, the journey to a successful outcome begins with proper pre-operative care and continues through vigilant post-operative management. If you're seeking a successful and smooth recovery, understanding the essential aspects of care is vital. This guide is particularly useful for patients consulting hip surgeons in Noida Extension, where specialized care is readily available.

Pre-Operative Care for Hip Surgery

Pre-operative care is crucial in preparing your body and mind for the procedure. Here's what to consider:

1. Medical Evaluation

Before surgery, a complete medical assessment is essential. This includes blood tests, ECG, X-rays, and other investigations to ensure you're fit for the operation. Hip surgeons in Noida Extension generally recommend a comprehensive health check-up to detect any underlying conditions that may interfere with surgery or recovery.

2. Medication Adjustments

Patients are advised to inform their surgeon about all current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Some medications, like blood thinners, may need to be paused before the operation. Experienced hip surgeons in Noida Extension provide detailed medication guidelines to prevent complications.

3. Lifestyle Modifications

To reduce surgical risks and promote faster healing, doctors often suggest the following:

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption.

Adopt a healthy diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and iron.

Engage in gentle pre-surgical exercises to strengthen muscles around the hip joint.

Hip surgeons in Noida Extension often provide custom pre-habilitation programs that help prepare your muscles for surgery and reduce recovery time.

4. Home Preparation

Patients should arrange their homes for ease of movement post-surgery. This may involve:

Installing handrails in bathrooms.

Removing rugs or obstacles that may cause falls.

Placing essential items within easy reach.

Specialized hip surgeons in Noida Extension usually involve a physiotherapist or occupational therapist to help patients plan their home environment effectively.

Post-Operative Care for Hip Surgery

Post-surgery care is equally important for a successful outcome. Here’s how you can enhance healing and regain your mobility:

1. Pain Management

After surgery, pain and swelling are common. Doctors prescribe medications and recommend cold compresses to reduce discomfort. Hip surgeons in Noida Extension ensure a tailored pain relief plan is in place to keep patients comfortable during early recovery stages.

2. Physical Therapy

Rehabilitation begins within 24 to 48 hours post-surgery. Initially, exercises focus on simple movements like ankle pumps, leg lifts, and gentle walking. Gradually, more complex movements are introduced to strengthen muscles and restore function.

Reputed hip surgeons in Noida Extension collaborate with skilled physiotherapists who guide patients through a phased rehabilitation plan, ensuring steady and safe progress.

3. Wound Care and Hygiene

Post-surgical wound care is critical in preventing infections. The surgical area must be kept clean and dry. Patients should:

Follow instructions for changing dressings.

Avoid soaking the wound in water.

Monitor for signs of infection like redness, pus, or fever.

Expert hip surgeons in Noida Extension usually schedule follow-up appointments to check wound healing and address concerns promptly.

4. Mobility Aids and Support

During the initial weeks after surgery, patients may need to use walkers, canes, or crutches to prevent stress on the new hip. These aids are gradually phased out as strength and balance improve.

Orthopedic teams working with hip surgeons in Noida Extension provide training on how to use these devices correctly and minimize fall risk.

5. Monitoring for Complications

Post-operative complications like blood clots, dislocations, or prosthetic issues can occur, though they are rare. To mitigate risks:

Patients are advised to perform blood circulation exercises.
