Consider the scenario where a fighter fractures his legs in MMA; can they fully recuperate? That varies from person to person.
Dr. Donghoon Lee stated that the majority of patients
reach about 95% recovery after two years, with most experiencing a 6-7cm increase in tibia or femur length.
The individual I mentioned returned approximately 3 years post-surgery and claimed to have regained nearly 99% of his previous athletic abilities.
NEVERTHELESS, he did mention feeling slightly less explosive, attributing it to potential aging effects and rated himself at 80% explosiveness after 1.5 years of rehabilitation. Whether he could further improve was uncertain due to age.
Undoubtedly, one can surpass their current abilities, a fact repeatedly demonstrated.
Nevertheless, it remains unknown whether one could have achieved a higher level of performance without surgery, despite putting in the same amount of effort..
Yet, this is no trivial procedure; it involves breaking your legs, dear sibling. Prepare yourself for the scenario where you might have to compromise 5-10% of your former self if you cannot reach 100%.
