John Cena announced earlier this week that he was heading to Alabama to undergo shoulder surgery. The surgery was successful and Cena is now on his road to recovery. Following his surgery WWE.com provided an update on Cena’s recovery and more details about specifics of the injury.
“He had a complete tear of a small portion of the rear rotator cuff tendon, the infraspinatus — toward the top-back of his shoulder — which I repaired,” Dr. Dugas told WWE.com. “Also, there was a large piece of loose tissue in his shoulder that needed to be removed.”
It was also noted that the procedure only took one hour and that Cena will be working on range of motion before he is able to put any weight on his shoulder.
