After his very spectacular fall during FP2 of the Japanese Grand Prix, Dani Pedrosa immediately took a flight to Barcelona where he has just undergone surgery by doctors Victor Marlet and Sergi Barrera: “By performing a CT scan, it was confirmed that patient Dani Pedrosa has suffered a fracture broken into four fragments with a significant shortening of the middle third of the right clavicle. He also detected a fracture of the right fibula without movement, requiring only immobilization. He underwent surgery on his right collarbone to proceed with the reduction and fixation with a titanium plate, with a satisfactory result. Dani Pedrosa will do it object of monitoring its progress in the coming days. “
The same right collarbone had already been previously broken in 2011, and a titanium plate was also required, hence the nickname.
Motegi is the worst event of the season for injury, as it is the first of three successive Grands Prix.
As a result, Dani Pedrosa hopes to be back in Valencia for the final Grand Prix of the season.
All our best wishes for recovery to Titanium!
