Well it appears that it is actually Monty's other knee's cardinal cruciate ligament that has ruptured, and not actually anything to do with his hip. His X-rays and 2 surgeons confirmed that this was the case. Now he had the same surgery in October of 2005 on his right-knee, so we know what to expect more or less in terms of recovery and the actual surgery. Just wish he didn't have to go through it.
He'll look like this below, and for the first few days he'll need to be supported while he walks out for his business. But within a couple of weeks he should start to recover, and hopefully within 8 - 12 weeks he'll be walking fine.
Poor little guy.
Bah.
