New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had his fourth surgery on his broken forearm. Â During his surgery he had old plates taken out that doctors feared would get infected, but good new for the Gronk and Patriots fans, his surgery was successful. Â New plates were put in and he will not need a fifth surgery.
This surgery will finally put an end to Gronkowski’s nagging forearm issues. Â He originally broke it during the fourth quarter during a game against the Indianapolis Colts. Â He tried to make a comeback during the playoffs, but rebroke the bone during the first play against the Houston Texans. Â It is still unclear if he will be ready for training camp and more importantly, the start of the season.
