Greg Minnaar Sustains Suspected AC Separation in Snowshoe World Cup Qualification Run [Updated with Video]

Sep 14, 2021
by Alicia Leggett  
There's a bit of discussion of Minnaar's injury right at the end.

Could the rainbow stripes really be cursed?

In his qualifying run today, Greg Minnaar hit a root, he said, that sent him into a losing battle with a tree.


Minnaar shared a video on Instagram of his team physio Laura Robson examining his injured shoulder and declaring it a separated AC joint, likely grade II or III, recognizable by the injury's signature step-down shape at the end of the collarbone.

Robson described the incident as Minnaar having 'concertinaed into a tree' but said he doesn't appear to have a head injury. The incident happened near the top of the course and he did not finish the run.

bigquotes'He just concertinaed into a tree' is not quite the outcome I was after when I entered the start hut today. Unfortunately, I hit a root that flung me funny and I ended up wrestling one of the locals [tree emoji]

Gutted is an understatement, but stoked for @luca_shaw laying down a solid run.

Let’s see what happens next…—Greg Minnaar

We wish him all the best in his recovery.

 @CustardCountry: Geez us, there is healthcare for poor people. It called MediCal in California. There are plenty of affordable healthcare options under CoveredCalifornia plans. Or just get a job, most employers offer healthcare these days unless you're moving lawns, or a deadbeat loser drug addict. Every hospital emergency room in the country has to see you by law. If you're poor they're not going to bill you because they know you have no money. It does get complicated if you're hospitalized for serious illness of course, but no country is perfect. In 48 years, I have received excellent healthcare, even when I had not much money or no healthcare. Stop shitting on America for sport, especially being from your less than perfect country!

 @dirktanzarian: Yeah mainly ICBC but I have been waiting for more than a month to see a specialist for my hand, i understand with covid etc. I still don't know what is going on. The doctors don't care. I cant properly ride my bike and it is painful to change gears on my car, so now i do first to fourth gear. Plus even if I am a victim I will have to pay tons of extra. I am gonna contact doctors in France to see if it is faster.

For mountain biking the best country to crash in is France, they call the helicopter and you don't have to pay ( our taxes pay lol ). You see helicopters almost every day in the PDS. I nicely opened my knee in Les Gets and 30 min after the crash went to a walking clinic and right away they sew my knee. 2 weeks after i was riding again. The nurses + doctor were covered by the government and had another insurance for France/Switzerland (10 euros per month). Canada is not bad but even before Covid good luck to have an appointment with a specialist, i will not even speak about the mental health problems in Vancouver.

I'm not blaming Biden, I'm just saying you can't blame covid on Trump, as most democrats do. As we can now see there's really not a lot the president can do to control the virus. I think both have done the best they could. Trump has repeatedly urged its supporters to get vaccinated, but at the end of the day it's there choice, and many choose not to.

 Just watching the video, I would imagine he would be in substantial pain if it was a stage 3. I had a stage 3 separation end of 2019, and the gap in my AC was about an inch, as well as some substantial swelling and bruising. I don't bruise easily either. I'm not saying it's not, but judging from what I'm seeing I highly doubt it. From.the sounds of things, he seems like he's contemplating if he's going to race tomorrow. If that was a stage 3, there would be no question that he's out for the season indeed. Here's to hoping it's really not, and the Goat can have a crack at the overall!!! What a story that would be.

 3 AC separations. All stage 3. right shoulder twice (2000 and 2007), had surgery the 2nd time. Left shoulder most recently 2 years ago; and wish I had surgery; but snowmobile season was coming so I went for the quicker recovery of 3 months without surgery vs 6 months with surgery. Doc told me if I came back years later and wanted the surgery; it would be the same procedure and same recovery time: 6 months. Would strongly recommend immediate surgery for stage 3. Figure I'll crash hard again eventually and get my shoulder fixed during my next surgery.

 @tetonlarry: This is about my experience. Not the frequency of injury, I only did one shoulder - but couldn't find a doctor, so after 8 weeks decided it didn't make a difference I can opt to do it later. Fresh injuries heal better, with Grade 3. Looking forward to the crash that lets me go under the knife - hopefully it's in the fall.

 Remember the days pre-op where he used to pop his shoulder back in mid race run?

 Different injury. Shoulder separation is not shoulder dislocation.

 Greg looked very unimpressed with the state of play in that video. Can't blame him.

 I had a terrible ac separation s year and a half ago. Never been the same. Good luck Greg.

 If you're gonna ride MTB's pretty much say goodbye to your AC joints. However Greg's injury isn't something that an Ortho surgeon would fix, it will heal fine on it's own.
