Marlboro Ducati's Casey Stoner has left hospital after undergoing successful surgery to fix the broken scaphoid bone in his wrist.

Using arthroscopic surgery, two floating bodies were removed from the area of the styloid process of the ulna bone (lower arm). Stoner was treated for pseudoarthrosis on his left scaphoid before the removal of a staple (which was inserted in Stoner's scaphoid during an operation in 2003), and a bone graft using the Herbert Bone Screw System, which is designed to promote early active motion.

The Aussie is now on his way home to Switzerland to begin the recovery process.
