Sunday, September 24, 2006 Nick Johnson Undergoes Successful Surgery
The Nationals just issued this statement on Nick Johnson:
Johnson suffered a fractured right femur in the bottom of the eighth inning of Saturday’s game against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium. He underwent surgery to repair the femur last night at New York Hospital Queens. Dr. Peter Dzenis performed the surgery with assistance from Dr. Shaffer. “In a two-hour procedure, a titanium rod was inserted into Nick’s fractured right femur. The surgery went well. He is expected to make a full recovery, and be ready for 2007 Spring Training. Nick will remain in the hospital for one or two days, and begin his rehabilitation today.” There was some concern as to how quickly Johnson would be able to resume activity given the nature of the injury and the severity of the break. Thankfully, the prognosis is good. posted by Joe Hamrahi at 12:57 PM |
