Dr. James Andrews spoke to WWE.com this week about performing elbow surgery on John Cena. Dr. Andrews removed several pieces of bone cartilage from Cena’s elbow through a scope.
“He had begun to lose motion in his arm, and it had been locking up,” Andrews said. “I performed an orthoscopic procedure on his elbow and took out a bunch of spurs. Everything went really well.” Andrews described the procedure as “straight-forward” despite Cena’s “big, old arm.”
“Cena’s rehab will start on Monday with trying to improve his range of motion and getting the swelling down,” Andrews explained.
Cena is expected to take 2-3 weeks to recover and will be evaluated on Thursday.
