Carlos Gurpegi’s Surgery

Athletic player Carlos Gurpegi has undergone surgery Thursday morning, 24 November 2011, after he suffered ACL on his left knee on 24 October. The intervention was performed by Dr. Mikel Sanchez at the USP La Esperanza Clinic in Vitoria, in the presence of Athletic Club’s Medical Services and IMQ. It was performed using arthroscopic surgery and has consisted of the implantation of a plasty to reconstruct the affected ligament.

His post-operative recovery is going well and if there are no complications he will be discharged in 48 hours. This coming week he will begin his rehabilitation process. He, however, will be sidelined for between six to eight months.
