Coach Thibodeau began experiencing knee pain several years ago when he played ball for Salem State. After a meniscal tear injury, the removal of cartilage created a bone-on-bone environment that prevented him from strenuous activity. Since Dr. Della Valle performed the surgery last month, Coach Thibodeaux has returned to his regular activity.
