http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/articles/ledley-update-120711.html Ledley King underwent a successful arthroscopy on his left knee last night (Monday). The defender is expected to rest for up to 10 days before progressing to full activity within a further 10 days.
If we could get one whole season out of Ledders before he calls it quits, it would be fan-bleeding-tastic.
I'd be happy to see King miss the entire season, if he could just have a knee cartilage transplant and come back at something like 100% for a couple of seasons. He's still only 30. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-76501/Me-operation-cartilage-transplant.html
if king plays 25 premier league games next season it will probaly give us 15 more points our defence would be formidable, and it seems dawson is a lot more calm and collected when ledders is alongside him, and doesnt make silly mistakes, i think he has a huge affect on our whole team
Haven't heard this one for a long time http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/s...m's-ledley-king-has-latest-op-on-knee?cc=3436 Its only a minor one- lets hope.
This was on another article, it's probably page 2 by now. Why not let King Hotspur perform his first merge?
Arthroscopy, another peek and a flush out then. As far as I'm aware replacement cartilage is only to help walking, they don't stand up to the rigours of sport...shame.
Nicky Weaver had a knee cartilage transplant a few years back and managed a full season for Sheffield Wednesday last time out, NSSS. While I know that it's a slightly different prospect, being a goalkeeper, it's still something that King should consider, for his own long-term good, if nothing else.
I do worry for him long term too PNP, he can't go the rest of his life without any in that spot, the bones will just wear away. I'd like to think he'd have a curing op when he retires, knowing that he'll get 20yrs out it just walking as your link points out.
Hasn't he been told that the longer he carries on, the more chance there he is he could end up not being even being able to walk in the future.
