Marlboro Ducati MotoGP racer Nicky Hayden may have surgery Monday, November 14 to have the fractured scaphoid bone in his right hand/wrist screwed back together to speed up its healing. Hayden suffered the injury plus a fracture to the radial styloid bone in the same hand/wrist in a Turn-One pile-up at the start of the MotoGP season finale November 6 at Valencia. Alvaro Bautista, Randy De Puniet and Hayden’s teammate Valentino Rossi also crashed in the chain-reaction incident. Hayden confirmed to Roadracingworld.com today that on Monday he will visit the Fremont, California clinic of famed orthopedic surgeon Dr. Arthur Ting to be further evaluated and possibly have the surgery. The scaphoid bone is notoriously slow to heal due to a limited blood supply to the area.
