Tendulkar discharged after successful surgery

Sachin Tendulkar has been discharged from hospital after making a good recovery from his shoulder surgery in London.

"The operation was a complete success and when I visited Sachin yesterday afternoon I was pleased to see that he has made a good recovery," Dr Andrew Wallace told PTI.

Tendulkar underwent arthroscopic surgery on Monday to stabilise his shoulder joint and reattach a damaged bicep tendon to his upper arm bone. According to Wallace, Tendulkar's shoulder injury is not as serious as the tennis elbow that struck a year and a half ago. He said Tendulkar was beginning to be more comfortable wearing a sling and was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday evening.
