Post by IanBeen off golf for quite sometime, knee surgery finished now :)
As im getting ready to try golf again thought I'd pop on here see whats
happening.
Lots of spam and adverts....
Yep, this place is very quiet now. So how's your knee doing now? On the
mend I assume as you're getting ready to boom that driver away again.

Knee is coming along ok after microfracture surgery. I copied in the
following, its the same operation Freddie Flintoff had just before he
announced his retirement from cricket.......
Microfracture is a surgical option used in the treatment of areas of damaged
cartilage. When a patient has a small area of damaged cartilage
microfracture may be performed in an attempt to stimulate new cartilage
growth.
How does microfracture work?
A microfracture creates small holes in the bone. The surface layer of bone,
called the subchondral bone, is hard and lacks good blood flow. By
penetrating this hard layer, a microfracture allows the deeper, more
vascular bone to access the surface layer. This deeper bone has more blood
supply, and the cells can then get to the surface layer and stimulate
cartilage growth.
So, its always the way !! knee is almost ready but the weather is not. I
will check out the link to alternate forums, see whats going on there. I
will also keep checking back here :)
