Dr. Piñal operated on him last September for an injury to the ulnar tendon and the articular meniscus in a meticulous arthroscopic procedure. The problem he had been struggling with for months was temporarily resolved with the performed infiltrations and the work of the physiotherapists, but in September, the decision was made to perform a wrist arthroscopy to definitively solve the issue.

After nine months, the captain of Real Madrid Basketball is now fully recovered and ready to continue making history.

Born in 1960 in Santander, Dr. Francisco del Piñal is considered one of the best hand surgeons in the world. His contributions in fields such as microsurgical transfer of toes to the hand or arthroscopic surgery techniques in wrist fractures are endorsed and applied on an international scale.
