After injuring his right shoulder blade, Marc Márquez underwent a medical examination. A team of doctors at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid diagnosed a fracture of the coracoid process and damage to the ligaments. The affected shoulder was immobilized for a week. However, there were insufficient signs of stabilization in either the bone or the ligaments.
Decision to perform surgery
Given the ongoing risk of permanent instability, the medical team decided to perform surgery. The aim of the procedure was to stabilize the shoulder area and repair the acromioclavicular ligaments. From the outset, surgery was considered a possible option if conservative treatment proved unsuccessful.
Recovery and further progress
According to the clinic, the surgery was successful. Márquez has since been discharged from the hospital and is continuing his recovery at home. When he will be able to return to racing depends on how his recovery progresses. An exact date for his comeback has not yet been set.
