The term "reconstruction" commonly refers to ACL, with some tissue damage. So, your use of the term "reconstruction" is very vague, and gives zero information on what the damage actually was, and what was fixed.
Sorry,I'm not a doctor and wasn't trying to provide a medical diagnosis.

All I know is that when I talked his mom she made it a point to say it wasn't an ACL.

She said it was the third time he needed a "complete reconstruction".

She also said that when they first used the cadaver parts they didn't "take" (her word) and they had to go back in to redo some of the work.

Don't know if it means anything,but after the third "repair" he wasn't allowed to fly for at least a couple of months.
ACL is the most significant singular ligament in the knee, and is the only one that needs reconstructed. The others are more minor procedures (MCL and PCL).

The NO flying is very very common after leg surgeries as flying increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis, or blood clots. The deep vein blood clot that can occur can be deadly. The danger is that after surgery the body naturally produces more clotting agents and can greatly increase your risk for clotting.

So that order from the surgeon is common, and not a sign of anything serious.
I guess "minor" is a relative term.

Personally,especially with the all the problems with infections today,I don't if I'd consider any surgery "minor".

I have a good personal friend who is a family physician, he once told me the medical definition of minor surgery: "Surgery on somebody else."

Curtis Brunson has left as well, per Arkley's blog. The secondary, especially corner, is dangerously thin for next season.

Odd that Brunson would leave. I thought he was hurt much of this season, our he would have played more. I figured that he was the likely starter opposite Provitt for next year.
