 Schilling Tendon Procedure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Schilling Tendon Procedure is a temporary surgical procedure developed by Boston Red Sox team physician William Morgan, MD to stabilize the peroneus brevis tendon so that it is prevented from anterior displacement with ankle flexion.
The procedure is named for Major League Baseball pitcher Curt Schilling, who required the surgery to be able to pitch in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS and Game 2 of the 2004 World Series.
Schilling was the winning pitcher in both games, and his blood-soaked sock became a banner of sorts for Boston Red Sox fans during their team's improbable run towards their first world championship in 86 years.
