They kinda make it sound like his original procedure was botched and they had to go in and correct it. Am I getting that right or was it just a fluke thing where some screw came loose
Pretty common for screws to come out over time.

The original surgery, from high school, was risky to begin with. They had to realign (break) his femur and change the angle that the upper part of his leg was coming into the knee joint. Before it was coming in at just odd enough of an angle to cause all the problems. Imagine trying to play basketball when additional stress is being placed on the knee joint with every step, every jump.They kinda make it sound like his original procedure was botched and they had to go in and correct it.

I love how waited until he beat isu's ass, then scheduled surgery. Shout out Cordell!!
If they didn't know how to shut Cordell down, that's their problem. Cordell has weaknesses in his game. ISU never exploited them.ISU fans are using that to "prove" that the ISU game is our super bowl. Its, charming really....and pathetic of course

I had my tibia realigned. Its serious stuff. It doesnt come loose but I'd guess his extra weight doesnt help. The knee never works right again after that magnitude of injury and surgery.
To get the stuff out the incession may be bigger than the first
Took me 3 years to get comfortable and didnt peak for 5. Never got close to original. Which knee is it? Might explain why he quit jump shots.
Yes, I saw that. He DID do it in HS. I followed him as Iowa was recruiting my son's teammate.Made a nice jumper from 10-12 feet against ISU.
He has not and under today's rules he should.Has he already used his redshirt? Does he get a medical redshirt?
Femur breaks in athletic competition are very rare but very severe. I think I remember a ollege football player in the 2000's suffering a coumpound fracture of femur (ouch)I had my tibia realigned. Its serious stuff. It doesnt come loose but I'd guess his extra weight doesnt help. The knee never works right again after that magnitude of injury and surgery.
