Tracy and Slaten Still Knee-d More Time

Let’s talk about...oh, why not, microfracture surgery. It’s a subject of some importance, since both Chad Tracy and Doug Slaten underwent the procedure during the off-season, and their status for Opening Day this year remains uncertain, even though it’s now little more than a month away. So, what is it? Why is it done? And, most importantly, what are the likely long-term effects?

A nice overview of the procedure, some history in other sports, and in baseball. Jim writes a nice blog
