Dani Pedrosa*was operated on by a team of doctors at the*USP Institut Universitari Dexeus*yesterday evening. The medical staff placed a titanium screw in Pedrosa's left wrist and a skin graft on his left knee. The two doctors carried out *both of the three-hour operation at the same time, with the left knee skin graft taking the most time.*At the press conference the doctors spoke about each procedure and the likely recovery time.
With doctors saying that it will be four weeks before Pedrosa can even bend his knee, it is very likely that Dani will be able to test at Jerez, which is in three weeks.

"Dani Pedrosa received a graft on the open wound using a rotation graft, a graft of skin and fat taken from the inside of his left thigh to cover the affected area," stated Dr. Ferreira. "We must now wait for scar tissue to form; the patient will be able to start moving a little within three weeks and within a minimum of four he can begin to bend the leg."
"The fracture on the left distal radius, which was affecting the joint, has been repaired, it was then fixed with a titanium screw. The functioning of the affected zone will begin within ten days, in the meantime Dani Pedrosa will stay in hospital for the next 72 hours" said Dr. Mir.
