Marc Marquez undergoes successful surgery on right shoulder blade

The #93 has ultimately undergone surgery and is now back at home with recovery underway

After a checkup for his right shoulder blade injury following his crash in Indonesia, Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) has undergone a successful operation at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid, Spain.

The medical team who already examined Marquez seven days earlier found that the coracoid fracture and ligament damage were not showing sufficient signs of stabilization after a week of being immobilised, which was the initial treatment plan. Therefore, given the risk of residual instability, it was decided to go ahead with surgical stabilisation and repair the acromioclavicular ligaments.

Surgery was one of the options considered by doctors from the outset in the event that the planned conservative treatment failed. With the operation now successfully undertaken and Marquez already at home, the #93 will continue his recovery process. His progress will determine the timing of his return to racing competition, with test rider Michele Pirro subbing this weekend in Australia.
