The pilot from Mazarrón will be operated on next Thursday in Barcelona for a clean fracture in his left leg
Pedro Acosta, 18-year-old rider from Mazarrón, Moto3 World Champion and one of the great stars of the current Moto2 grid, will undergo surgery this Thursday at the Quirón-Dexeus Institute in Barcelona, by the team led by Dr. . Ignacio Genebrena, who will have the help of the prestigious traumatologist Xavier Mir, of the fracture of the left femur, which occurred last Tuesday, when he was training at the Ceutí motocross circuit, a facility next to the local Miguel Indurain sports center.
The ‘Shark of Mazarrón’ was initially treated in Arrixaca and then had to travel by road, in an ambulance, from Murcia to Barcelona, arriving at the Barcelona hospital at 5:30 am on Wednesday morning, leaving the Dr. Genebreda’s team preferred to do the final X-rays, analyzes and control tests for the surgery this Wednesday, and postpone the surgery until this Thursday.
The intervention, as published this Wednesday by ‘El Periódico de Catalunya’, will in these cases be typical of a highly competitive athlete, that is, very similar to the operation already performed on the Italian Valentino Rossi, when, many years he broke his femur. It involves placing an intramedullary nail in the femur and securing and/or strengthening the bone with crossed screws, allowing Acosta to walk and start exercising much earlier.
The idea is that the driver from Puerto de Mazarrón will be allowed to drive again at the Silverstone circuit on the first Sunday in August, after a five-week hiatus from the World Cup. It is clear that Sunday’s race will be lost in Assen, where Fermín Aldeguer will be, the other Murcian in the Moto2 category.
