Bogus! Microfracture surgery

[Stevenson]

Boy, that was all the rave for a while, wasn't it? Interesting that we don't ever hear about it anymore. Do they even do it anymore?

And now that it seems like a passing fad, was it actually experimental when we seemingly abused our best rookie in generations with it? (Not to open an old wound or anything, but summer topics are hard to come by!)

They use stem cells and gene therapy now for cartilage repair.

Looks like it's still in practice.

A specific shoulder, to be distinct!

April fools was months ago. This is cruel!

Damn that got me. I thought Sharpe needed surgery.

Just give it a little time....

Chiat the name of the surgery alone sounds bad, micro-fracture. Like what are they doing, intentionally doing little tiny fractures on their bones or something?

Yes, that's exactly what they do. Scar tissue replaces the missing cartilage.

Should be a bananable offense

Burn this thread to the ground and dump bleach on it

I recall hearing that Roys knee problems carried on past his playing career; not sure how much of that is due to the micro fracture surgery.

The recovery from it seems to be pretty low, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not as common.

Didn’t know that, never looked into it. That sounds like a pretty bad idea though at the surface of it, but what do I know I am sure as hell not a doctor.

 

[Stevenson]

I asked Sly to delete this thread. Didn't mean to freak you guys out. My bad. But he didn't.

So once again its @SlyPokerDog's fault!!!

scar tissue?

you may be right but I thought it was micro-holes in bones that release bone marrow cells intended to rebuild cartilage. Maybe that's the same thing?

they drilled small holes in my wife's leg bone to regenerate cartilage.

Roy never had microfracture, so I'd estimate it had 0 impact.
