BTW
This was in The Athletic last week.
An ACL (anterior cruciate ligament – the main ligament through the centre of the knee which keeps the joint stable) injury used to be viewed as the dreaded curse for footballers, as a return to the game was not always guaranteed.
Advancements in technology mean it is not the career death knell it once was, but there is still a 10 per cent re-injury rate and some players still don’t get back to the level they were at before.
Recovery time was around a minimum of nine months to get back to playing, but former
Aberdeen and
Dundee United defender Mark Reynolds’ return was reduced to just four-and-a-half months courtesy of Mackay’s IB repair in 2018, while now-
Rangers winger
Scott Wright was fully recovered in the same timeframe after an ACL tear playing for Aberdeen the following year.

The guy who did Gallinari's knee was Dr. Anthony Schena. Dr. Schena did all of his training in MA and I doubt that he has done anything with IB, but you never know.
