Just recently, MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez of Repsol Honda Team underwent surgery on his fractured humerus. The Spaniard is now fit to ride this weekend. Marquez will be taking part in the Gran Premio Red Bull de Andalusia after passing a medical check-up in Jerez.
Marquez broke his humerus in a crash during the Spanish GP and returned to Barcelona on Monday. He then underwent surgery on Tuesday, performed by MotoGP Traumatology specialist Dr Xavier Mir. Marquez returned to the Circuito de Jerez-Angel Nieto on Thursday morning.
Dr Angel Charte (MotoGP Medical Director)
“As you all know, Marc Marquez had a crash where he suffered an injury. He had a diaphyseal fracture to the humerus. He underwent a surgical intervention where they plate it. 48 hours later, as is stated in the medical regulations, he has the right to request a medical evaluation to participate in the next race. Today he came to the medical examination unit. They tried all of the movements that involve this kind of injury. It turns out he’s able to do them perfectly. There were no signs of pain or mechanical inability of his right arm. Therefore the exhaustive medical examination, although it seems strange to us, has been positive. It proves the rider is perfectly ready to race. At what percentage, that can’t be told. But he fulfils the rigorous medical protocol for this type of injury.”
