Bono Health Update

Over the weekend, Bono fell off his bike in Central Park. Early reports stated that he had injured his arm. However, his injuries are more serious that initially reported. His doctors revealed the full list of his injuries to Rolling Stone. The list is excerpted from Rolling Stone below:

1. Left facial fracture involving the orbit of his eye.
2. Left scapula (shoulder blade) fracture in three separate pieces.
3. Left compound distal humerus fracture where the bone of his humerus was driven though his skin and the bone was in six different pieces. He was taken emergently to the operating room for a five-hour surgery Sunday evening where the elbow was washed out and debrided, a nerve trapped in the break was moved and the bone was repaired with three metal plates and 18 screws.
4. One day later, he had surgery to his left hand to repair a fracture of his 5th metacarpal.

Despite the additional injuries, Bono is expected to make a complete recovery.
