I’ve never seen a report that specifically described Mitch Leinder’s foot injury diagnosis or the precise foot surgery performed.
Any insight? Plantar fasciitis – plantar fascia release; Ankle instability – lateral ankle reconstruction; Lis Franc injury – Ligament repair or bone fusion; Turf Toe – MTP plantar plate reconstruction?
Those different surgeries have varying degrees of success, predictable outcomes. Some are very dependent on compliance and following the protocols. Many athletes are their own worst enemies as they try to push the envelope in an effort to return to sport more quickly.
I’d anticipate a complete non-answer in press conference “Mitch is right on target. We expect him to be 100% by fall camp”. I’d simply like to know what the problem was and what was done to correct it.
Thanks,
