Dean Ambrose was injured on Monday Night RAW this week. It was confirmed after the show that Dean is legitimately injured and the angle on RAW was a way to write him off WWE television. It was confirmed on Tuesday that Dean needed surgery.
We have another update for you on the injury.
WWE has updated their website with an injury report. According to the site, Dean tore 50% of his triceps tendon away from the bone. He had successful surgery to fix it on Tuesday night:
“Dean Ambrose underwent successful surgery Tuesday night to repair a high-grade triceps tendon injury, WWE.com can confirm.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas in Birmingham, Ala., and took around 40 minutes.
“He tore some of the distal triceps tendon where it attaches to the forearm bone, called the olecranon,” Dr. Dugas told WWE.com. “He basically tore about 50 percent of the triceps tendon away from the bone. So yesterday we repaired that back down to the bone where it tore off of. The surgery was very straightforward; we removed all of the extra bursal tissue — all of that extra swollen stuff around his elbow.”
Dugas added that Ambrose has begun physical therapy, starting with light range-of-motion exercises, and is expecting to leave Birmingham later today.
