KEN ROCZEN INJURY UPDATE
F
ollowing his horrific crash
at Anaheim II Supercross
at Angel Stadium of Anaheim
on Saturday night, January 21,
2017, Ken Roczen released an
update on his condition by way
of his Instagram account.
Along with a graphic photo-
graph and x-ray of his injured
left arm, Ken Roczen gave a
rundown of the total damage:
"Dislocated wrist, dislocated
elbow and compounded radius."
The Honda HRC Team rider
went on to say, "The first 30
[hours] absolutely sucked as
none of the pain killers worked
and it was really swollen. Gonna
need few surgeries to get this all
dialed."
Roczen did not mention
anything about a head injury in
his damage assessment, which
hopefully means his head was
spared any serious damage
when he hit the ground in the
crash. He also thanked all his
friends and supporters for their
kind words, adding that he will
need few more days "for further
info," likely referring to the ques-
tion of how long it will be before
he is able to return to racing.
A release from Honda HRC
on Monday, January 23, stated
that Roczen was transported to
a local hospital for evaluation
following his crash on Saturday
night, and was flown to Colo-
rado on Sunday morning to have
his personal physician perform
the surgery. CN
Ken Roczen suffered
more than just
a broken arm at
the Anaheim II
Supercross.
