Following the Qatar crash, Daniel Pedrosa recently underwent an operation to correct injuries that were sustained from the crash. Pedrosa had hurt his left knee and arm and Dr. Xavier Mir and Dr. Bartolome Ferreira began operating on him at 19:30 hours.
The diagnosis said that Pedrosa had suffered from a loss of internal matter on the knee while a left distal radius on his wrist joint had fractured, hurting his arm. The operation took three hours and both parts were operated upon at the same time.
Dr. Ferreira, the specialist in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, said “Dani Pedrosa received a graft on the open wound using a rotation graft (a graft of skin and fat taken from the inside of his left thigh) to cover the affected area. We must now wait for scar tissue to form; the patient will be able to start moving a little within three weeks and within a minimum of four he can begin to bend the leg.”
Dr. Xavier Mir was responsible for the Arthroscopy on him at the same time and post-surgery, said “with this the fracture on the left distal radius, which was affecting the joint, has been repaired, it was then fixed with a titanium screw. The functioning of the affected zone will begin within ten days, in the meantime Dani Pedrosa will stay in hospital for the next 72 hours.”
