Kriel surgery fails

Very unfortunate for Jaco, but the whole thing seems odd. How could it take that long to figure this out. 'Jaco Kriel will be sidelined for a further six months as he is set to undergo a second shoulder operation after the initial corrective surgery was unsuccessful. The Lions and Bok flank sustained a labrum shoulder tear against the Wallabies in Perth on 9 September and underwent corrective surgery a few days later. Kriel has been in rehabilitation since, but the Lions on Wednesday confirmed the 28-year-old is set for an extended six-month spell on the sidelines after the first operation was deemed unsuccessful due to 'unforeseen circumstances'.'

I suppose it is how it heals. If the bone does not fuse properly, it needs to be broken again and reset. However, one would have thought that x-rays would have revealed this sooner......

Exactly my point.
