The "hybrid" procedure will take place on Monday and has a recovery time of six to nine weeks. This surgery won't fully fix A-Rod's injury, but it should allow him to play for most of the 2009 season. He'll get another procedure next winter. "The goal here is to allow Alex to rehab rapidly in a safe manner," said Dr. Marc Philippon at the <b>Steadman-Hawkins clinic for sports medicine</b> and orthopedic surgery. "The approach we're using is much safer than letting Alex play the way he is now."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Looks like Arod will be in town here on Monday.
