Williams Williams after operation on collar bone
Boston Red Sox star Ted Williams underwent an 80 minute operation on his broken left collarbone at Sancta Maria Hospital. Dr. Russel F. Sullivan said Williams would be discharged late this week or early next. Williams is aiming to return to Florida soon but will wait for bone union. The procedure inserted a six inch stainless steel nail and stitched a triangular fragment. Williams injured himself chasing a line drive in Sarasota training camp on March 1. Recovery timelines: eight weeks to play, two weeks to jog, six weeks to bat and throw lightly. A light cast will protect the repair.
