Rahul Dravid undergoes surgery on injured left upper jaw | Former Team India skipper and middle order batsman Rahul Dravid, who was injured after being hit by a short delivery during the Mirpur Test against Bangladesh underwent a minor corrective surgery on his injured left upper jaw at the Manipal Hospital in Bangalore on Friday. Maxillofacial
surgeon Dr Kishore Nayak performed the surgery, and it is reported that Dravid
will be discharged later in the day. Manipal Hospital Medical Director Dr H S
Balel said, "Rahul Dravid suffered a depressed fracture of the left cheek bone
(left zygomatic arch bone) and this was corrected using a standard open approach."
"Dravid will be discharged from hospital and can resume normal activities in about
two days," he added. Dr Balel further said, "Dravid has been advised not to play
cricket or any contact sports for about 2-3 weeks by the treating surgeon Dr Kishore
Nayak. He will be reassessed for fitness on a regular basis." The prolific Indian
batsman has been left out in the squad in the series against the Proteas beginning
on February 6 due to his injury. |
