This was covered ad nauseam from the time of the surgery and throughout last season.  MULTIPLE sports doctors all stated on the record that the course of events was the proper treatment; allow it to rest and heal on it's own and ONLY do surgery if it doesn't respond to rest and rehab.  Reason being?  To surgically repair it requires cutting the remaining tendons from the bone and reattaching all of them, which carries an inherent risk in doing so.
