I found this study from Reddit in regards to patella injuries. This is pretty damn bleak.
-study was from 2009-2022
-Just over half of all players who have this injury came back to play even one game
-Only 16% came back to start as many games within 2 seasons of their injury as they did 1 season before injury.

Seems like an unnecessary risk based on desperation when you see the numbers
