Dani Pedrosa undergoes operation to his right wrist in Barcelona
Pedrosa doubtful for Austin COTA MotoGP
Dani Pedrosa underwent surgery to his right wrist Tuesday afternoon at the Hospital Universitari Dexeus in Barcelona, Spain, to treat the injury suffered in a crash during Sunday’s race at the Argentina Grand Prix.
A 3D CT scan confirmed that Dani had suffered an intra-articular fracture of the right distal radius.
The fracture reduction and internal fixation with a titanium screw were carried out by Dr. Xavier Mir and his team from the Catalan Institute of Traumatology and Sports Medicine (ICATME) at the Dexeus Hospital.
The result of the operation was satisfactory, and Dani will undergo an evaluation of his progress in 48 hours. If the results are positive, he will be able to begin his rehabilitation on Saturday.
Pedrosa’s participation in the Austin GP will be made in due course as the prognosis reveals itself.
