Browns' Brady Quinn has finger surgery
Posted on: Thursday, 4 December 2008, 12:08 CST
Cleveland quarterback Brady Quinn says surgery on his right index figure was successful and he hopes to be throwing again in about six weeks.
(From) what I understand the basic procedure was that they put a couple of pins into the finger just to make sure it's well-set, so the bones can heal properly, and then they moved the one piece of bone that had broken off back down to the spot as well,
Quinn said in a report on the team's Web site. Just to reassure the fact that it will heal smoothly and I'll have full function of it again.
Quinn said he could resume throwing passes after the pins are removed in six weeks.
The quarterback broke the tip of his finger Nov. 17 in a 29-27 win over the Buffalo Bills,
Days later, he was told by orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., to end his 2008 season for surgery.
Dr. Thomas Hunt, a hand surgeon, performed the operation in Alabama Wednesday.
Quinn, the 22nd overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft out of Notre Dame, completed 45-of-89 passes for 518 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions this season.
