Quote:Yeah, Jack himself admitted he's a year or two away from "possibly" needing microfracture surgery. I MIGHT take Jack in the 3rd round, if he's there in the 4th definately.


But the risk greatly outweighs the reward. Microfracture surgery is a deal breaker, 99 times out of 100

I don't think it's the end of the world.


The success rate:

Microfracture does not work for everyone. In degenerative knees it has been found to have about a 75% success rate. Twenty two percent of the patients remain unchanged and about three percent are made worse. Even a partially successful procedure can greatly enhance function and delay or eliminate the need for more aggressive surgery such as total joint replacement or cartilage transplantation.
