Pedrosa to be examined for finger and ankle fractures
Pedrosa’s surgeon, Dr. Xavier Mir, explained the 2007 World Championship runner up's condition, revealing that a small procedure had been performed, in the following statement:
`Dani Pedrosa presents a general inflammation of the left hand with hematomas in the sheathes of both extending tendons. The pilot shows a displaced fracture of the distal phalanx of the left pointing finger, which has been reduced. Further on, the patient presents a sprain of the proximal interphalaxical joint of the middle finger of the left hand which has been totally immobilized. Finally, he has undergone a fixation of a fracture of the big bone of the left wrist by an arthroscopic technique. It is confirmed that the patient has suffered a lateral external sprain of the right ankle. ´
