Marvin Musquin Update 1

After his crash last week at Freestone MX in Wortham, Texas, Marvin
had surgery on his hand and thumb Sunday, May 29th, in Murietta,
California.



Three metacarpals were broken Marvin's hand, along with the thumb, so
the surgeon, Dr Alexander, had to perform surgery - there was no other
option.



"I had a surgery on my hand, three metacarpals were broken. The
surgeon put screws on each to close the fractures. He hesitated to put
in a plate, and determined that that wasn't necessary. For my thumb, it
was a little bit different, I had an open fracture, that wasn't
beautiful to see ... Fortunetely, the fracture was located at the joint
under the nail and not at the biggest joint - that would have been
worse. In my thumb, just a little plate was enough, no pins. My tendon
was damaged, and that was the most uncomfortable. I have seen the
surgeon now after the surgery - he was satisfied with the results, so I
am too."



Marvin will have a cast for few days. But he can already move his fingers.



"The surgeon advised me to move my fingers as soon as possible,
gently of course. I must remain vigilant with my thumb. The tendon is
not yet reattached. After three to four weeks, I will be able to use my
hand normally, both my bones and my tendon will be strong enough then.
Waiting all of that, I can go anyway at the gym and work on my physical
conditioning. It is too early to know about a comeback date - that will
depend on how quickly the recovery will go."
