Quick says Roy might still play tomorrow

Bone on bone means MF surgery would help that....correct?


For what it's worth, my orthopedic surgeon here in Houston is actually from Medford originally and is a huge Blazers fan. He thinks Roy needs the surgery, but qualifies that with the fact he has never seen any images and knows nothing more about his knee than I do, other than being a surgeon for 30+ years.

 

If he risks more damage by playing, he shouldn't play. If, at this point, there's no further damage he can do to his knees, then he should play if he can (if the pain will allow it). He needs to play as much as possible (so long as more damage isn't a risk) in order to start adapting to his new reality as a ballplayer.

 

From what I understand microfracture has to do with the articular cartilage that covers the femur.



With no meniscus though I suppose it's possible his tibia can start digging into the articular cartilage with no meniscus in place and then he'd really be in trouble, but I have no idea how correct that is.

 

LOL, and still know a lot more about it than me.
