Embiid Faces Potential Meniscus Replacement and Osteotomy Amid Injury Concerns

The center for the Philadelphia 76ers, **Joel Embiid**, may require a meniscus replacement in his left knee. There’s also a possibility of undergoing osteotomy.

«Embiid might soon undergo meniscus replacement, low-dose radiation therapy, or even the ominously named osteotomy, a procedure where doctors break the thigh bone to realign the joint and alleviate pressure. One source described these procedures as ‘radical’ considering the typical injury and surgery that have brought Embiid to this point. For some reason, what was expected to be a standard rehabilitation and return to play has gone terribly wrong,» according to an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

So far this season in the National Basketball Association, Embiid has played in 19 games, averaging 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.
