Rep Power: 0  | Browns Winslow's Surgery More Extensive
Quote:
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Kellen Winslow has to make another comeback. The Browns' talented tight end underwent microfracture surgery on his right knee last month, a more extensive procedure than was initially revealed and one that will require a longer recovery.
Winslow, who tied a team record for receptions last season despite missing nearly two seasons with injuries and being slowed by a bad knee, remains on crutches following the Jan. 30 operation to remove scar tissue and repair cartilage.
Microfracture surgery involves drilling holes into bone in the knee to promote blood flow and form scar tissue, which replaces any damaged cartilage. Typically, patients need four months of rehab following the procedure.
Winslow said he elected to have the delicate surgery to alleviate pain in his knee, which he first injured crashing his motorcycle almost two years ago.
| Kellen is now damaged for good regardless if recovers from this or not. That is too bad he could have been great.
