"He will Rise Again " Official 2011-12 Bulls Postseason Thread

Dr. Michael Kaplan: Good chance for full Rose recovery.

There isn't a snip of the interview by itself, but it starts at about 39:00 minutes.

Some quotes from the Dr.

- I don't think it will affect his career. Though a major blow.

- Previous injuries may have set him up, but might have more due to with the cutting/slashing style he plays.

- Success chance is in the 90s for coming back and doing everything, even as acrobatic as he is.

- Was not the shoes.

- It being late in the game didn't have any special bearing on it.

- Each ACL incident is different, won't know full damage that could be done till they do the surgery - if other damage was done.

- Some feeling that surgery should wait till motion is restored. Should be within next few weeks.

- Healing takes 6-9 months, can cheat *a little* with elite athletes. Surrounding muscles must be strengthened.

- Shortened season was likely a contributor, same as increased incidents in NFL during its lockout season.

Will he be better?

- He won't be better. But its reasonable to think he will be as good as he was, barring anything worrying they find during the surgery. Everything would point to him coming back 100%.

That's a pretty thorough recap of it. Much is rehash of what we know, but I came away feeling more positive about his recovery after I heard it.
