Jenny Moshak, University of Tennessee Assistant Athletics Director for Sports Medicine, announced that Lady Vol basketball rising sophomore point guard Cait McMahan had undergone successful surgery today.
"After episodes of pain, swelling and dysfunction over the course of this past season, Cait had surgery today to address those issues. Dr. Greg Mathien and Dr. Russ Betcher, UT team orthopaedists, performed surgery on Cait's right knee this morning at the UT Medical Center," said Moshak.
"Her surgery involved repairing a lesion on her articular cartilage."
McMahan, suffered a bone bruise to her right knee on Sept. 19, 2006 and had surgery on Oct. 20, 2006. The October surgery was "a debridement of loose bodies in the joint and a smoothing out of the articular cartilage." At that time, Moshak indicated, "we anticipate that additional surgery could be required."
