Pedrosa has screw removed in hand op
Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa had an operation on this week to remove a screw from his left hand that was inserted following a fracture picked up during the season.
The procedure, which took place in Barcelona, also freed Pedrosa’s extensor tendons, allowing him to improve the mobility of his left wrist.
Head of the Hand Surgery Unit of the Orthopaedics Department of the USP Institut Universitari Dexeus, Doctor Xavier Mir, performed the operation without any complications.
The 24-year-old was discharged from the hospital on Thursday and should be able to start his full recovery in two weeks, according to Doctor Mir.
