Port Adelaide has confirmed that midfielder David Rodan has had LARS surgery for a second time in a year on his problematic left knee.
The 27 year old midfielder injured his knee at a training session on Friday and an arthroscope later revealed that the original LARS ligament was frayed.
Rodan had his initial surgery at the same time last year and returned just four months after the dramatic procedure.
The Power say they expect Rodan to undertake a similar rehabilitation program to last season where he was able to play 19 matches during the 2010 season.
This was Rodan's third major knee operation after having a reconstruction on his right knee during his time with Richmond.
Former Carlton forward Brad Fisher and Sydney defender Nic Malceski are others to use the LARS surgery to speed up the recovery process.
