Pope falls, breaks his wrist Wednesday, 19 August 2009 16:41 |
Pope Benedict XVI had to undergo an operation yesterday after falling and breaking his wrist at his holiday home in the Alps. The operation was performed under local anaesthesia and went well, said the Umberto Parini hospital in Aosta, northern Italy. Surgeons operated on the wrist to reduce the fracture, a procedure to realign the broken bone fragments, it said. The Vatican said the 82-year-old Pope fell in his room overnight and despite the accident celebrated Mass and had breakfast before going to hospital. Doctors took an X-ray of the pontiff’s right wrist and found a fracture. Newsflash 1 Sunday, 10 August 2008 06:30 |
