Chris Vice Undergoes Successful Screw Fixation Surgery

A successful surgery for Chris Vice.

It was first announced by Chris Vice’s home promotion, Pro Wrestling ZERO1, that he would be withdrawing from all future events and was set to undergo screw fixation surgery.

Vice had torn ligaments in his ankle in addition to having a fractured fibula. He shared a post-surgery update and noted that it was a success.

Vice suffered the injury during training. John Hopkins Medicine has the following posted about screw fixation surgery:

Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is a type of surgery used to stabilize and heal a broken bone. You might need this procedure to treat your broken shinbone (tibia) or your fibula.

Different kinds of injury can damage the tibia or the fibula. This causes them to break into one or more pieces. This might happen in the part of the bone near the knee, near the middle long part of the bone, or in the bone near part of the ankle. (A fracture here might be called a broken ankle.) Only one of these bones might break. Or you might have a fracture in both bones. In certain types of fractures, your bone breaks, but its pieces still line up correctly. In other types of fractures, the injury moves the bone fragments out of position.

Vice has a recovery timetable of three to four months. He is a two-time ZERO1 World Heavyweight Champion.
