Further Surgery For Casey Stoner?

Casey Stoner admitted after the IRTA test that the wrist was not completely recovered, but does not expect it to be a problem during the race weekend.
“It’s not 100 per cent, but the pain is almost zero now .
We’ve understood the solution and there won’t be any problem.

But to heal it’ll need nine months in total, which is absurd for such a small operation” said Stoner.
However Stoner has now revealed to MCN that he might need further surgery on his left wrist after the 2009 season because the bone graft that he had on his scaphoid is slightly too big and it’s blocking the lateral movement of his wrist.
“It will take time to wear down.
It should do it naturally and if it doesn’t do within the next three months then I’ll need another operation at the end of the season to grind the bone away to make sure I get the movement back.
”“I spoke to the doctors who did the operation and they said nothing, they just kept saying it is normal.

That’s all I kept being told and they said it would take time.
But I wanted to know how much time and why it wasn’t moving and if there was a problem? The doctors in Switzerland could tell me five minutes after the X-ray why I didn’t have the movement and they didn’t even do the operation.
It gave me peace of mind knowing it is fine and I can get on with things.
”“Even if the movement doesn’t come back like I need, I know I can get it done with simple surgery at the end of the year without any problems.
