Williams will be good to go, full speed, in fall camp.
Should be minimally invasive.
Edit: ND trainer Rob Hunt said that it was also to clear out an infection, and to stimulate bone growth.
For those who can't watch the video.
""He's had four subsequent surgeries. He's got a final surgery today, but [he had surgery after] the injury itself. [Then], about two weeks afterwards, he had a clean-out procedure just relative to his wound closure, so that was surgery No. 2. In September, the hardware, due to the bone not healing, failed, so the hardware was exchanged in September, and we were hopeful at that time that the injury would begin to heal. It did not.
"In January, the hardware was taken out again, and we were able to identify some infection that was in there, probably from the initial injury. So, he's gone through a sense of antibiotics and antibiotic seeding into the bone. That hardware now is going to go back in, so the bone will be grafted again today, and we're extremely hopeful. We're really optimistic. We think that the infection was probably inhibiting some of his bone growth, and now he's in a position without infection. The bone will be grafted and stabilized, and this will allow him to fully heal. He's got more to go. There's a lot more rehab involved."
