Nicky Hayden undergoes successful operation in San Diego

DRIVE M7 Aspar rider was treated yesterday at the Oasis Center in San Diego

DRIVE M7 Aspar rider Nicky Hayden has decided to go back under the surgeon’s knife yesterday in order to increase mobility in the joint. With nine rounds now completed out of eighteen in the 2014 season the ‘Kentucky Kid’ is making the most of the summer break to fix his wrist properly.

On Wednesday morning at 6am the DRIVE M7 Aspar rider underwent an operation that lasted an hour and a half, carried out by Dr. Chao at the Oasis Center in San Diego. The medical term for the procedure is a proximal row carpectomy with radial styloidectomy, which involves the removal of a row of small bones in the wrist in order to increase mobility within the joint.

Dr. Chao reported that the operation had been a success and that Nicky now has increased range of motion in his wrist. The former MotoGP World Champion will now take some rest and begin therapy to recover and return to racing as soon as possible. The DRIVE M7 Aspar Team has full confidence in the rider and wishes him a swift and full recovery.
