Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa is still suffering from his orthopaedic injuries sustained last weekend in Germany. He sprained his right ankle and fractured two fingers of his left hand - index and ring fi🐼ngers - as well as his wrist.

Prior to flying to the United States, he underwent Ar💧throscopic surgery, to reduce the finger fractures. According to ꦕthe team, the procedure isn't exactly surgery. Arthroscopy utilizes very fine, special instruments to look inside joints, and to repair or treat joints, rather than use traditional surgery.

Repsol Honda's D𒅌ani Pedrosa is still suffering from his orthopaedic injuries sustained last weekend in Germany. He sprained his rigꦍht ankle and fractured two fingers of his left hand - index and ring fingers - as well as his wrist.

Prior 🏅to flying to the United States, he underwent Arthroscopic surgery, to reduce the finger fractures. According to the team, the procedure isn't exactly surgery. Arthroscopy utilizes very fine, special instruments to look inside joints, and to repair or treat joints, rather than use tradit🍒ional surgery.

Pedrosa rode with a taped and bandaged right ankle. His left hand was in a special glove, with taping and bandaging around h🔯is hand, and around the two injured fingers. The ring finger had a☂ plastic cap on it, similar to a thimble. Pedrosa used his third-middle finger to shift the clutch.

Despite pain killing tablets, immediately after his morning session Pedrosa went to the Medical Centre. He ran 21 laps during the hour-long session, the fewest of the 19 riders on tra༺ck.

Pedrosa, who is now 16 points behind title leader Valentino Rossi and just four ahead of reigning world champion Casey Stoner, w👍ill ꦇprobably ride in the Friday afternoon MotoGP practice session.
