Brett Lee visits Melbourne to see specialist
Australian fast bowler Brett Lee travels to Melbourne today to see a specialist for a routine post-surgery review of his right elbow.
The consultation will involve an x-ray to find early-healing signs of the elbow. The specialist, Mr Greg Hoy, who conducted Lee's surgery, will be looking to see how much movement, stability and pain is in the joint after a month of post-operative recovery.
Lee will be available to media at around 2.45pm today (9 March) outside the Melbourne Orthopaedic Group practice at 33 The Avenue in Windsor.
Lee's surgery took place in Melbourne on 6 February and involved repair of his medial ligament and flexor tendon. The 24-year old damaged the elbow when throwing from the boundary during the Carlton Series match against Zimbabwe in Perth on 4 February.
During the surgery, the opportunity was taken to correct a bony injury that Lee had sustained earlier in his career. He had previously fractured the ulna bone, which had never completely healed but not caused any pain. The bone was reattached with two screws and bone graft inserted to assist healing.
Lee has been wearing a slip-on brace for the past month and has undergone intensive physiotherapy.
