An article from 2014.

An excerpt from the article:

"A recent study in professional athletes revealed that 40 percent of the athletes who received microfracture surgery return to play at their previous level, 40 percent return to play in a diminished capacity and 20 percent were unable to return to professional sports. Even if successful, the fibrocartilage that fills the defect is not as durable as the original articular cartilage and can break down."

40%--I like those odds when you add the will of the player to the equation.

We get it.  It's not a sure thing.  My question to you is why are you taking such delight in painting the gloomiest possible picture? 

Anyway, we just have to wait and see so just give it a rest already, please.
