Casey Stoner underwent successful surgery on his wrist at the Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria Policlinico in Modena. Antonio Landi, Specialist in Orthopaedic Surgery and Hand Surgery, was assisted by arthroscopic specialist Dr Luigi Pederzini and by Dr Norman Della Rosa.
Using arthroscopic surgery, two floating bodies were removed from the area of the styloid process of the ulna bone (lower arm).
Stoner was treated for pseudoarthrosis on his left scaphoid before the removal of a staple (which was inserted in the former MotoGP World Champion’s scaphoid during an operation in 2003), and a bone graft using the Herbert Bone Screw System, which is designed to promote early active motion.
The Australian, who won the season-ending Valencia GP last weekend, was discharged on Friday, whereby he returned to his home in Switzerland to recover.
