1) Here is a short thread on my thoughts about James Wiseman's recent surgery as just reported by @anthonyVslater. This changes my thoughts #DubNation as an outside observer as to what this means for the outlook on James Wiseman. In general (based on what study you read), repeat

2) surgery after a meniscus repair runs somewhere between 10 - 20 percent. In a young individual with a tear that has good blood supply (& maybe complex / larger) you make every attempt to repair it since meniscus tissue does not grow back if you shave it out. One of the signs
3) that there may be some "problem" with the knee is swelling that occurs as you increase activity. Many times swelling won't pop up until you really start running, jumping, and doing agility work since you are stressing the knee and the meniscus tissue. If there is persistent
4) pain / swelling (or a repeat injury) that does not resolve, you may need to go back inside the knee. The key question is what were the "loose bodies" that were "flushed out" during the procedure and where they came from
5) Was this scar tissue or a loose stitch from the original surgery (less concern)? Not healed meniscus tissue which had to be taken out (more concerning)? Loose cartilage fragments from another part of the knee (more concerning as well)?
6) What was taken out during surgery really can help to determine both his short, mid, & long term outcomes. With more reports, we may get more information. Worst case is that meniscus tissue or cartilage fragments had to be taken out, which can set up the knee for degeneration.
