The Spanish veteran, whose career has been plagued by operations, was injured in a crash at the Argentine Grand Prix on Sunday.

His Repsol Honda works team said in a statement that Pedrosa had suffered an intra-articular fracture of the right distal radius. The break was fixed with a titanium screw in the operation.

"If the results are positive, he will be able to begin his rehabilitation on Saturday," the team said.
