Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced that guard Gilbert Arenas had an arthroscopic lavage (washout) procedure performed on his left knee this morning.? The procedure was performed by Wizards' Team Physician Dr. Marc Connell at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, DC.?
??
?After Gilbert?s normal course of rehabilitation was ramped up, he experienced some swelling and discomfort in his knee,? said Connell.? ?A subsequent MRI showed that the knee is structurally sound. The decision was made to perform an arthroscopic lavage procedure, during which a moderate amount of debris was removed after saline solution was washed through the knee.? The presence of debris is common with the nature of his previous injury.? This was a proactive procedure that will enhance his rehabilitation process.?
