Wishing him everything of the best and hoping it comes right this time.

Due to be a six month recovery. Could be a while before we see him back racing a bike. I wonder where he will go from here?

Update on Marc's condition here, detailing the inability of the surgeons to be able to forecast how long it will take him to heal.

I do feel it’s becoming just as much as a case of ‘if’ as well as ‘when’ with regards to Marquez’s comeback.

My guess is that he will be back, but 2021 may be a stretch.

Really feel for him and what he is going through at present!

This was on his official site on the 4th Dec.
Marc Marquez has undergone a new operation on his right arm as a result of the slow healing of the humerus bone, which has not improved with specific shock wave treatment.

Today the rider has undergone surgery at the Hospital Ruber Internacional, in Madrid, for a pseudarthrosis of the right humerus.

The surgery, carried out by a team made up of doctors Samuel Antuña, Ignacio Roger de Oña, Juan de Miguel, Aitor Ibarzabal and Andrea Garcia Villanueva, consisted of the removal of the previous plate and the placement of a new plate with the addition of an iliac crest bone graft with a corticoperiosteal free flap.

The surgical procedure lasted for eight hours and was uneventful.

Hopefully it will allow him to return

Thanks for your learned medical input Gordon, is there no end to your talents

I think we need to wait and see on this one. Although the medical team have done a good job, there’s no guarantee he will make a comeback yet

Pseudarthrosis
Pseudarthrosis is a bone fracture that has no chance of mending without intervention. In pseudarthrosis the body perceives bone fragments as separate bones and does not attempt to unite them. Often this is a the result of inadequate healing after the fracture, though it can also be the result of a developmental failure.

The treatment of septic bone defects represents a significant challenge in orthopaedic surgery. Non-vascularised cancellous bone grafts are very commonly used. In contrast, thin and malleable periosteal grafts have generally only been investigated in animal models. The free corticoperiosteal flap is used only in exceptional cases in traumatology

Yes I have letters after my name, however I wont put them on a family site like this

Thanks Gordon, for a small fee I believe you can validate your qualifications in the middle east.

Here is a good case for full face helmets on motor bikes following our discussions earlier. Fortunately she wasn't badly injured.

Rumour has it that Suzuki are going with mankinis, they're looking for suitable models - Gordon?

Well I don't mind as long as they pay me enough
I would do it as long as I can keep my wellies on as this picture in one of my local pubs in the UK proves. We were at a photo shoot for the Larkins Brewery owners 70th birthday card a few years back. I have blanked out the relevant parts so you don't all have a heart attack

[justracing]

That's scary!

Just hope I can keep that image out of my head

It was a real hoot, my other half took the pictures while one of her mates made sure that no "tackle" was showing I suppose I needn't have blanked that bit out but we were completely naked (apart from wellies or boots) then one of the female watchers wrote on our cheeks with a marker pen spelling "Happy Birthday Bob"
