As many will know, Laura Berry has been suffering from recurring breaks to her collar bone and recently won the Red Bull Home Run at The Brits with a floating break. Laura had her operation last Friday and is now the owner of a shiny new collarbone. The operation went better than expected, so hopefully she can now put the whole episode behind her and she can get on with what she loves the most... snowboarding.

I'd like to thank on behalf of myself and Laura all her friends and sponsors who have supported her over these recent injury-ridden years and also Mr Flynn and his magic hands.

For those that like the gory details:

She was supposed to have a graft taken from her hip but the doc said as she needed to be on her feet asap that he would try to use any excess bone from her collarbone. There was enough to use by trimming the bones so she didn't get hacked open at her hip, which was just as well as the incision would have been HUGE.

We thought actual bone is placed in the gap but it's not like that.They grind up bone to fill the gap. She also has a low-profile titanium plate and screws so no sticky out screw heads or bulky plate. The doc was the best. He works with a lot of sports people so was very sympathic and on the ball.
