    I don't want to hear it. I've been passing on jokes for over a week.

    Haven't I read this thread title, before?

    In all seriousness, I hope he can one day stay healthy and prove himself on the court. I feel horrible for him.

    I've never heard of Travis Outlaw. That KingSpeed guy is famous, though!

    I'm just wondering what would cause a man to have two separate instances of needing MF, both of which didn't entail extended basketball playing. The first was after the supposed DDR (or "getting off Mom's couch") incident in the summertime, and the second after a year or so of rehab on his other leg. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who's had to have two MF surgeries on each knee who DIDN'T have repeated wear and tear (like KMart).

    WHAT?? The doctor admits it's 50-50 he'll never play again? And we're going to overpay him for several years to find out?

    Very simple. The lousy doctor treated him for one injury without knowing of the second injury. After the operation on the first injury, Oden was in pain long after he shouldn't have been. So 11 months after surgery (a few days ago) the lousy doctor got around to taking another MRI and discovered a whole new injury, which was the cause of the enduring pain.

    The crumby doctor probably hasn't discovered another injury, so Oden will take forever to recover until the good doctor gives him another MRI around 11 months from now.

    To quote Leslie Nealson: "There's a 50-50 chance he'll make a full recovery, but there's only a 25% chance of that happening"


    Greg Oden is done folks. If his knees can't handle the stress of getting off the couch and shoot arounds, they can't handle the rigors of the NBA. We've all seen what happens when he tries to play, his knee exploded.

    They said the damage to his cartiledge was substantial, like someone took a 9 iron to it.

    I know I'm a hopeless Blazers homer, but I guess I prefer to get my estimates of Greg's chances of playing again from a doctor instead of someone who can't spell cartilage or understand that the divot comment about Greg's knee was a description of what the little hole in his cartilage resembled, not that it looked "like someone took a 9 iron to it."

    It would have been easier to bump a previous "Oden has successful surgery" thread, rather than start a new one.

    Let's keep that in mind next season when it inevitably happens again.

    Well here you go then, an actual honest to goodness academic research study of MF and recovery expectations.

    http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/11/study_shows_limits_of_microfac.html

    And I would say that having had it done prior to his other knee and being able to perform at a reasonably high level (albeit for a very limited amount of time) probably has no bearing on the chances of success of this MF procedure, because we don't know if the two initial defects are of a similar severity.
