8 weeks ago I had microfracture surgery to my right knee due to a motorcycle accident in Sept. of 06. Microfracturing in a prosess where very small holes are drilled into the (femur in my case) bone which causes it to bleed out. That "SHOULD" become "LIKE" cartillage to replace the peeled back cartillage that happened in the accident. Does anyone have knowledge of this in the cycling circle? Has anyone here had it done? Will it affect my cycling? Rehab has me doing stationary riding but I'm concerned with climbing/sprinting. Anyone?
