Dodgers' Justin Turner: Underwent microfracture procedure

Turner revealed last weekend that his recent knee surgery included a microfracture procedure, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Speaking at Adrian Gonzalez's charity softball game, Turner said that a piece of cartilage had been torn off on the outside part of his knee, necessitating the microfracture surgery. He dealt with a bruised knee throughout much of the second half, but Turner believes the cartilage damage happened in the postseason. While Turner won't be able to run at full strength for approximately three months, he is confident he will be a full go at the start of spring training.
