Longtime N.C. State football orthopedic surgeons David and Michael Fajgenbaum no longer will be working with the team after school officials consolidated athletics care under one orthopedic group.
In recent years, Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic has handled care for the rest of N.C. State's athletes while the Fajgenbaums handled football players out of The Bone and Joint Surgery Clinic.
N.C. State associate athletic director for sports medicine, Charlie Rozanski, said Wednesday that Raleigh Orthopaedic's Bob Wyker will direct orthopedic care for athletes. Lyman Smith, a former pro football player with the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings, will work with the N.C. State football team.

It will be interesting
to see if this switch has any effect on recovery times from orthopedic surgeries for the football players. My wife is a physical therapist and I have learned from her that all surgeons were not created equally. There are definitely certain surgeons who I would not let touch anyone in my family.
I with we could do something about the people in charge of conditioning the football players since I would rather them not even get to the surgery stage.
