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.
Pretty much the medical consensus, on this.
II would be thrilled but not holding out any hope, between this and his proness to concussions.
A great player may have aa career that never gets off the ground.
