13-02-2012 at 09:00: Hayden Under the Knife

February 5 saw MotoGP rider Nicky Hayden undergo surgery on his left shoulder which he injured in late December.

During the procedure, which was carried out in Fremont, California, and which lasted approximately 40 minutes, Dr. Arthur Ting discovered and repaired a tear in the labrum. In a post-operation appointment it was confirmed that the surgery was successful, and the Ducati Team rider returned home to begin his recovery.

If the convalescence proceeds as hoped, Hayden should be able to take part in the next winter test at Sepang, February 28-March 1.

“It’s a setback, but all things considered, I’m pretty happy with how things went,” Hayden said.

“It’s good that it was possible to do everything by ’scope, and the pain’s not too bad. The problem should be fixed now, and I look forward to being able to help out the team as soon as possible.”
