[kropotkin thinks...] - Pedrosa Unlikely To Require Further Surgery On Collarbone
If you enjoyed reading this article, please click here to view it on Kropotkin's site, MotoGP Matters.
----------------- While the crash at Motegi in which Dani Pedrosa broke his left collarbone was unfortunate, the aftermath has turned out to be much more difficult than expected. Pedrosa flew home from Japan on the Saturday, and underwent surgery to have a plate fitted to his collarbone. The Spaniard then attempted to race two weeks' later at Phillip Island, but that proved too much to ask of his recently repaired shoulder. More worryingly, when Pedrosa tried to race at both Estoril and Valencia, a month after breaking his collarbone, the Repsol Honda rider was still reporting problems with his left arm. Pedrosa reported losing both strength and sensation in the arm, his arm going numb after a number of laps racing, but also even when he was asleep. The worst case scenario could have been that Pedrosa had suffered nerve or artery damage during the accident, and this was causing him the problems. Nerve damage, in particular, could potentially have ended his career. Pedrosa underwent two days of tests to check for such damage earlier this week, and the good news is that no damage was found. The numbness and weakness that Pedrosa reported were merely the result of swelling from the damage caused by his injury. The Spaniard should not require any further surgery to correct the problem, with a period of rest and recuperation prescribed to solve the problem. read more
