Cipriani's 2008 comes to an end
May 19 2008
Danny Cipriani's injury suffered in Sunday's Guinness Premiership semi-final was confirmed on Monday by Wasps as a fracture dislocation of his ankle.
A press release from the club said that Cipriani's rehabilitaiton time had been set at six months, although this was likely to be reviewed during the process.
Cipriani underwent surgery on Sunday in the Lister Hospital in London on Sunday night, where his ankle was stabilised and fixed to it's correct position - so horrific was the twist that television cameras opted not to replay the incident.
Meanwhile, Tom Voyce's recovery from a dislocated shoulder will not be threatened by complications.
Tom Voyce received treatment to relocate his dislocated left shoulder. Voyce is currently in a comfortable condition, and will be discharged from hospital later this morning.
Neither player has so far commented, but the Wasps medical staff were grateful for the professionalism of all involved in the incidents.
"On behalf of London Wasps, Danny and Tom, I would like to thank everyone who was involved in managing the treatment of those two players yesterday," said London Wasps Head Physiotherapist, Prav Mathema.
"London Wasps' own medical team, Bath's medical team, the paramedics, consultants and the Lister Hospital staff were exemplary in their medical care of these two players."
