The #93 immediately underwent surgery at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid, with Dr Ignacio Roger de Oña leading a team consisting of Dr Samuel Antuña and Dr Andrea Garcia Villanueva.

The surgery consisted of a closed fracture reduction and internal fixation with two screws and passed without incident.

Marc Marquez and the Repsol Honda Team have elected the eight-time World Champion to miss the next round of the World Championship to entirely focus on recovery and arrive at the forthcoming rounds in the best possible condition.
