This.
the microfracture surgery repair is never as good as the original knee with the normal cartilage. I heard some players who had had it talking about it on the radio. They say there is always pain to deal with. The knee joint is stable, but it just doesn't have as much stuff to act as a shock absorber.
The good news is that they say in will probably keep getting a little better for up to a year, so Burfict may yet seem some more improvement. But the bad news is that the knee will always hurt and most likely wear out before a normal knee.
Burfict was such a huge part fo our defense that I pray he gives us a few more great years. But it is possible that he could be gone for good at any time.
