Jess Lockwood continues to rest and rehabilitate his injured shoulder (broken coracoid process) without setbacks. Jess has a follow up appointment with Dr. Tandy Freeman in 2 weeks, at which time a further assessment will be made on his return. I will continue to provide updates as needed.
In his physician’s visit last Thursday Jess Lockwood received some good news in that surgery is not required to repair his injured riding shoulder. An MRI discovered a rare broken coracoid process, (the coracoid process (from Greek κόραξ, raven) is a small hook-like structure on the lateral edge of the superior anterior portion of the scapula (hence: coracoid, or “like a raven’s beak”). Pointing laterally forward, it, together with the acromion, serves to stabilize the shoulder joint). Jess has a follow up appointment with Dr. Tandy Freeman in 4 weeks, at which time a further assessment will be made. At the moment the thought is he will need 6 – 8 weeks of rest and rehabilitation before competing again. A much better prognosis than 6 – 9 months if a shoulder reconstruction surgery was needed.
Jess Lockwood went 0 for 1 this weekend and was held out of competing in round 2 due to an injury he sustained to his riding shoulder Friday night. Jess has an MRI scheduled for this Thursday and I will update you on the results as soon as I know. He is doubtful for St. Louis this weekend. Jess is currently 39th in the PBR world standings with 54 points.
