Renowned speedway rider Anders Thomsen has undergone successful surgery on a serious left wrist injury by Dr Francisco del Piñal, one of the world’s leading hand surgeons. Thomsen, who has represented Denmark in international competitions, travelled expressly to Madrid in search of a definitive solution to an injury that, after three previous operations, had not been resolved and was causing him limitations in his performance.

Dr Piñal, born in 1960 in Santander, has gained worldwide recognition for his pioneering contributions in hand surgery. His expertise in advanced techniques such as microsurgical toe-to-hand transfer and arthroscopic wrist surgery has set new standards in reconstructive and functional limb medicine. Thanks to his innovative approach, Dr. Piñal’s techniques are applied and recognised internationally.

The operation, performed in Madrid, marks a turning point in Thomsen’s recovery, and he expressed his gratitude for the care he received and the hope of resuming his sporting career. Dr Piñal also expressed his satisfaction with the operation, underlining the importance of applying an arthroscopic and personalised approach in complex cases such as that of the Danish runner.
