Alessandro Castagna, one of the two specialists who performed the Italian’s shoulder operation on Sunday, believes he will be fit in time for the MotoGP Test in Malaysia on February 1st.
Rossi will be ready for Sepang Test

February 1st 2011, the date of the next Official MotoGP Test, is firmly fixed in Valentino Rossi’s mind as the Italian begins his rehabilitation from shoulder surgery which took place on Sunday. The normal recovery period following a procedure such as the one undergone by Rossi is 90 days, but with 79 until the Sepang Test the schedule is tight.

In an interview with Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport Doctor Alessandro Castagna of the Milan Humanitas Institute, who along with Doctor Giuseppe Porcellini performed the operation, explained his view on the chances of Rossi being fit to ride the Ducati in Malaysia.

“It usually takes 90 days and he has 79 until the first Test. I’m sure that if everything goes smoothly and there are no complications he can be ready for it,” said Dr Castagna.

The nine-time World Champion will require a splint to support the shoulder for three weeks, and his recovery programme will consist of three important stages.

“The inflammatory phase (immediately after surgery) usually lasts for between three to five days,” continued Dr Castagna. “The second phase usually a month and a half or two during which the capillaries in the area will aid the production of fresh cells that will help the healing process. The final stage will be the re-strengthening of the joint. In the middle of the second stage Valentino will start the rehabilitation with the first steps being in the pool, followed by gym activity.”

Discussing the surgery Dr Castagna said: “The operation itself had no particular problems, but we encountered a situation like at the supermarket: pay for one, get three. To give an idea of the situation it normally takes 35 minutes to stabilise a shoulder, and with Valentino it took us an hour and 50 minutes.”

“In simple terms the supraspinatus tendon and the glenoid ligament were both very damaged. We had to clean the area to prepare it for its natural healing process, and then close it with 12 stitches. The fibrocartilage surrounding the humerus was displaced so we put it back and fixed it with bio-absorbable staples. All of this was done in an area which measured a maximum of 2-3 centimetres.”

thanks for that tri.i did not realize how much stuff is in the shoulder until i tore mine up.

Tri you wanted more pics I will do you one better... my lovely wife got me a 'helmet' camera for Christmas! It was *just* dry enough to go out this Sunday, with wet spots under trees and in the shade. I have to work on the mounting as the camera vibrates in the mount right now, which causes the buzzing sound you hear.

Cool, but your supposed to stop on the road and let it fly and go thru 3 or 4 gears shifting at 8500 rpm's

Why would I drive 20 miles to get to the good twisty stuff if I just wanted to launch it hard on a 1/4 mile straight road, I got one of those right by my house! Not my bag but I hear ya... :laugh:

I'm liking the video dutchz...thanks for the post.

I got the contourhd 1080p contour.com/ . You can't go wrong with the go pro either.

The compressed video on youtube doesn't do the actual footage any justice. I will sort out the vibration issue that should make a big difference both in video and audio quality. It was also really cloudy, hopefully the sun will be out on the next ride!
