Dani Pedrosa returned to Barcelona Tuesday morning, and was taken directly to the USP Institut Universitari Dexeus hospital, where he was examined by Doctor Xavier Mir, the head of the Hand Surgery Unit.

After a checkup and further Cat scans and a RM, Pedrosa was diagnosed with a distal radius fracture on his left wrist. He will be operated on Wednesday, and a titanium screw will be inserted.

In addition, the check-up revealed that Pedrosa has lost some flesh around his left knee which received three stitches in Qatar and this will require skin graft surgery, also to be done on Wednesday.

The Spainard suffered these injuries on the second day of testing when he highsided at turn 10 and the bike landed on him.

The estimated recovery time will be known only after the surgery.
