Steve asks: What is time frame for Manny getting back?
Jon: He injured a ligament that attaches the knee cap, he dislocated his knee cap a second time and could have more problems. Hopefully by 4-6 months.
Ed: Is this an effective surgery to come back from?
Jon: Recovery rates are really high, I don't think in the future this will be a problem, as long as he rehabs and strengthens muscles in knee.
Steve: Do they have to do anything next season were they when he gets back is he will not be 100 percent?
Jon: I would think he will be 100 percent when he gets back, as long as he gets his motion and strength back. This is out side the joint and I think he should do well with this.
