Edge Surgery a Success

According to WWE.com, Edge underwent successful surgery for a torn pectoral muscle in Birmingham, Ala., this weekend. The surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews, who has done various surgical procedures on Mark Henry, Triple H and Rey Mysterio. The WWE site has an article covering the doctor's findings related to Edge, as well as when he might be back. There is also a video as well. From WWE.com:

"“As had been documented, Edge had a rupture of his pectoral muscle,” Dr. Andrews reported, “but we were very fortunate. When we went in there, it was discovered he had a complete tear of the tendon attaching to the muscle – right off the bone.”

Dr. Andrews admits that his findings during the operation surprised even himself. “I didn’t think that the tear would be as significant as what we found when we went in. Initially, we had thought it was a partial tear, but it turned out to be much more significant – the injury could have been career-threatening if not properly repaired.”

So when can our fans see Edge back in a WWE ring? According to Dr. Andrews, “That has yet to be determined. The first four weeks after the surgery is all about healing; from there, it can take three to four extra months for the recovery.”

Although most people would be grateful to learn that their operation was a complete success, Edge woke up from his surgery with his energies focused on anything but gratitude. “I will be back, better than ever,” the Ultimate Opportunist vowed, “and I will get back what is rightfully mine – the World Heavyweight Championship.”"
