Then you have an elevated risk of a different injury due to the tendency to over compensate and use other joints and limbs too much.
Right or wrong we basically agreed to all this risk to save 20 draft slots. That's what it comes down to. We didn't want to pay the price to move up into the top 15 to get a top 15 talent.

That's what the ortho surgeon told me as we were discussing the arthritis in her kneecap after her surgery. That he can see scans a few months out if arthritis is developing as a result of the surgery.
