Houston Rockets center Yao Ming has elected to undergo surgery in order to repair the broken bone in his left foot, the NBA team said in its official website on Friday.
"After much thought and reflection, I have decided to have surgery on my left foot," said Yao. "This surgery will allow me to continue my career playing basketball and I look forward to returning to the court. I would like to thank everyone who sent me their best wishes. I am very grateful to have the support of teammates, friends and fans as I dedicate myself to making a completely successful recovery."
The surgery, which will be performed next week by Rockets Team Physician Dr. Tom Clanton at the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Institute, will involve a bone graft in the navicular bone of Yao's left foot in order to promote bone regeneration.
Injured Houston Rockets center Yao Ming stands over his team as coach Rick Adelman talks with Shane Battier, Brent Barry, Ron Artest, Aaron Brooks,and Chuck Hayes as they take a time-out against the Los Angeles Lakers during Game 7 of their NBA Western Conference semi-final basketball playoff game in Los Angeles, May 17, 2009.
Additionally, Clanton will also perform a surgical procedure designed to reduce the arch in Yao's left foot by realigning and restructuring the bones in the foot. While no timetable has been set for his return to action, Yao is expected to be available for the team's training camp in 2010.
"This combination of procedures should not only allow healing of his navicular stress fracture, but also improve the mechanics of his foot to reduce the stress on that bone and give him the best long-term prognosis," said Dr. Clanton. "This surgical option is similar to the successful procedure used by Cleveland Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas in 2001."
Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey adds: "Yao and the Rockets conducted due diligence in seeking a number of expert opinions regarding his medical options. The consensus opinion was that he undergo a procedure to heal and realign his foot. We will implement all the resources available to help him make a complete and successful recovery."
