Eight-time world champion Marc Márquez has successfully undergone surgery on his right shoulder blade following complications in his recovery from a recent injury. The procedure took place at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid, Spain. It was carried out by the same medical team that had been monitoring his condition since the injury.

Doctors confirmed that after a week of conservative treatment, the coracoid fracture and ligament damage in Márquez’s shoulder were not healing as expected. Due to insufficient stabilization and the potential for long-term instability, the team decided to proceed with surgical stabilisation and repair of the acromioclavicular ligaments.

Surgery After Conservative Treatment Fails

From the outset, medical experts considered surgery a backup plan should immobilisation fail to produce the desired recovery. When the injury showed little improvement after seven days, they decided to proceed with surgery to restore full shoulder function and ensure long-term stability.

Doctors declared the operation a success, and Márquez has since returned home to begin his rehabilitation. The Ducati Lenovo Team rider is now focusing on recovery and physiotherapy under the close supervision of his medical team.

Return to Racing Still Undetermined

Although the surgery was successful, doctors have not set a specific timeline for Márquez’s return to the MotoGP grid. His comeback will depend on how quickly he recovers and regains full strength in his shoulder.

Márquez’s absence from the Australian and Malaysian Grands Prix has already reshaped the championship’s final stretch, with the newly crowned champion now prioritising full recovery over immediate competition.
