Dani Pedrosa has successfully undergone the surgery he hopes will help him fully overcome his troublesome shoulder inju𒊎ry.

It was announced prior to the Spanish Grand🥀 Prix that Pedrosa would go under the knife to correct the ailment after struggling with fitness and fatigue over a race distance at the Qatar opener.

Though he went on to take a fine second place finish in the Spanish Grand Prix at Jerez over the weekend, Pedrosa travelled to the Teknon Medi🃏cal Centre in Barcelona straight away to deco💦mpress his left subclavian.

In order to release the arterial compression, the🌼 titanium plate and the screws fixed to the collarbone💯 have been removed. The subclavian artery has also been separated from the fibrotic tissues that surrounded costoclavicular space.

At the same time, intraoperative angiography by minimally invasive transfemoral approac🉐h confirmedꦦ the return of the subclavian flow.

The Re﷽psol Honda rider will remain in🍨 hospital for a further 48 hours to continue treatment with analgesia and anti-inflammatories.

Next week he will visit the doctors againꩲ to determine his rehabilitation, in order to participate in the Grand Prix of Portugal, to be held in Estoril on May🅺 1st.
