WWE.com posted a post-surgery update on John Cena after he underwent successful shoulder surgery on Thursday. Jeffrey Dugas, the doctor who performed the surgery, is quoted in the article. He said, “He had a complete tear of a small portion of the rear rotator cuff tendon, the infraspinatus — toward the top-back of his shoulder — which I repaired. Also, there was a large piece of loose tissue in his shoulder that needed to be removed.”
Dugas also said that he found “some deterioration in Cena’s AC joint” and they took care of that as well.
Regarding Cena’s recovery and a return date, he said they’ll have to see how things progress, saying, “The first hurdle is getting the cuts to heal and getting cartilage to form over the defect. After that, we’ll get back to function.”
