Owner Real Deal Posted August 13, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 http://media.philly.com/images/300*225/080912_Bynum_400.jpg By John Mitchell New Sixers center Andrew Bynum will head to Germany in early September to have the same experimental procedure on his knee that Kobe Bryant, Grant Hill and Alex Rodriguez have undergone, according to a West Coast source with knowledge of the situation. Bynum has had surgery on both of his knees. It is unknown whether the procedure will be performed on the one knee or both. According to the source, Bynum’s knees are fine and the procedure is non- surgical. The procedure, known as Orthokine/Regenokine, will be performed by Dr. Peter Wehling. Bryant initially underwent the procedure to prevent the inevitable wearing down of his knee cartilage. The procedure is a derivation of platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP. The procedure, which is not yet performed in the United States, is less invasive than many, if not all, other forms of knee surgeries presently used. Bynum dislocated his left knee cap in the January of the 2007-08 season and in May of that season Bynum underwent arthroscopic surgery on the knee. He also underwent surgery on his right knee following the 2009-10 season. His recovery from that surgery took longer than expected and, as a result, Bynum only appeared in 54 games in the 2010-11 season.http://mobile.philly.com/sports/sixers/?wss=/philly/sports/sixers&id=166009876 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaveli Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Dude is suffering from serious case of glass knees. He's had surgeries done on his knees ever since he was 12 years old. Good luck, Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
