Star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra is recovering from his elbow surgery without complications but he will not be rushed into any competition, including the World Championships later this year, Athletics Federation of India President Adille Sumariwala said Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 21-year-old \nNeeraj, who won a gold in the Commonwealth Games as well as Asian Games \nlast year, was successfully operated by celebrated orthopaedic surgeon \nDr. Dinshaw Pardiwala at the Kokilaben Dirubhai Ambani Hospital in \nMumbai on May 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere were some bone fragments which were \nremoved. He has started his physiotherapy with Heath Matthews. He must \nhave done four sessions by now. I will discuss about Neeraj\u2019s progress \nwith Matthews and doctor Pardiwala tomorrow,\u201d Sumariwala said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\n arthroscopic surgery on his throwing right hand was done to remove bone\n fragments from his elbow joint. His recovery is likely to take at least\n three months, putting his participation at the prestigious Doha World \nChampionships in doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe is doing everything except throwing. \nHe is undergoing rehabilitation. The daily report is good, so far so \ngood, there are no complications. We are hopeful,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthews\n is a renowned physiotherapist and head of sports medicine at Reliance \nFoundation Hospital in Mumbai. He has treated the likes of Scahin \nTendulkar, Sania Mirza and Mahesh Bhupathi.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
