Successful surgery for Marc Marquez

Marc Marquez had a sensational drive in Jerez, but one mistake ruined it all and landed him in the hospital

After falling heavily on Sunday, Marc Marquez was diagnosed with a broken right humerus and traveled to Barcelona on Monday to the Hospital Universitari Dexeus. Dr Xavier Mir and his team in collaboration with Dr Barrera performed an open reduction and internal fixation of a titanium plate to the right humerus. The radial nerve was untouched and did not need intervention.

Marc is now recovering from successful surgery and will remain in the hospital for up to 48 hours. His aim is to return to the 2020 World Championship as soon as possible with an expected date becoming clearer soon.
