GM Jim Nill said the it’s a genetic condition and there is an 80 percent chance of full recovery.
“What happened with Mattias is he had a small segment, approximately 21 millimeters by 11 millimeters that became displaced and is locked in his knee,” Nill said, adding that the doctor “is going to take that bone segment and re-attach it to the area where it came from. It’s the bone and the cartilage, they both came off together.”
