DETROIT – The Detroit Tigers announced third baseman Brandon Inge underwent surgery on Tuesday to address the chronic patellar tendinitis in both of his knees that plagued him throughout the 2009 season, a procedure performed by Dr. Stephen Lemos at the Detroit Medical Center.
The procedure involved the debridement and repair of the patellar tendon in both his left and right knees.
Inge will be non-weight bearing for the first six weeks as he regains full range of motion. At that time, he will begin a strengthening and rehabilitation program to prepare him for Spring Training and the 2010 season.
According to the projected timetable, Inge is expected to be ready for the start of Spring Training in February.
Inge saw action in 161 games this past season, hitting .230 (129x562) with 27 home runs and 84 RBI.
