“What the statistics tell us at the base is that yes, if there is a second surgery, the failure rate increases.
However, the athlete can return to his previous level.
In studies of athletes ranging from amateur to professional, we see a return-to-play rate of about 80% post-surgery and about 60% return to their prior level.
For a professional athlete, that 60% can climb to 80%, which can become encouraging.
However, depending on the surgery, there may be certain limitations.”
