James Stewart Undergoes Surgery 4

LOS ANGELES, CA (January 29th, 2010) -
Team San Manuel Yamaha's James Stewart underwent surgery this
afternoon, to repair a broken scaphoid in his right wrist.  Following
Round 3 of the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World
Championship, in Anaheim, CA, Stewart continued to experience severe
pain in the wrist.  Although previous x-rays had not indicated there
was a break, an MRI performed yesterday and reviewed by medical experts
today, revealed the bone was broken.  Surgery was performed immediately
by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Arthur Ting, of Fremont, CA and was completed
without incidence.


As a result of the surgery, Stewart will not be competing in San
Francisco this weekend.  His return to the race track will depend on
how quickly he is able to recover post-surgery and will be evaluated
and determined on a weekly basis.  “James is a true champion.  The fact
that he rode as competitively as he did making the podium at Anaheim 2
with a broken wrist (unknowingly) is testimony to that.  He's anxious
to heal and get back on the race track as soon as possible,” said Larry
Brooks, Team Manager.
