Shoulder Op Successful As Greg Targets 2018
The Road to Recovery
28 September 2017
Speedway World Champion Greg Hancock has undergone a successful operation to repair the damage in his left shoulder that cut his season short.
Greg dislocated the shoulder three times in a matter of days in July and shortly after took the decision to end his season early in order to fully repair the damage and ensure he returns in 2018 100% fit.
While under the knife, surgeon Dr Ulf Nordenson also discovered that Greg had a torn bicep tendon but he and his team at Sportsmed Gothenburg repaired the shoulder within an hour and Greg is now back home in Stockholm.
He says:
Obviously I’m pretty sore now but I’m glad that the operation was successful and a huge thank you to Dr Nordenson and his team for looking after me. Everyone knows that I didn’t want to end my season as early as I did but it was the right choice and now I’m fully focused on getting back to fitness and being 100% ready for next season.
“I also want to thank Dr Klas-Göran Gravander, who always manages to get me hooked up with the right people and the right places in my time of need – I’m forever in debt to him so thank you Doc!
Greg is hoping to head to Torun next month for the penultimate Speedway Grand Prix round of the year, before beginning a Winter of intense rehabilitation.
I am not 100% sure yet but I am trying to be in Torun. It’s my home club in Poland so I’m aiming to head over there and meet some of the fans before I get my head down and start my rehab.
“It’s going to be a long, hard Winter and my focus is fully on building the shoulder back up to full strength so I can get back on the bike as soon as possible. Thank you to all the people who have sent messages and supported me – and I’ll see you next season!
