They had a Doctor on Sirius Radio today talking about VB and micro-fracture. He said if a player is able to come back from it, the chances of them playing long enough to earn a second contract is rare.
He tried to dumb down the procedure. He said imagine a field with lush grass, the microsurgery location is a bare-spot. The first thing you have to do to grow new grass is to prep the area (surgery) and then stay off the grass for 6 weeks. After that you can slowly tend it and it will fill-in; however, it will never be as strong or last as long as the natural growing grass; simply because the soil underneath cannot maintain good grass.
