Richmond's Nathan Brown has undergone surgery to insert a rod and three screws to support his badly broken leg amid confirmation that he will be sidelined for the remainder of the 2005 season.
Brown was operated on at 6.30 am Saturday at Vimy House private hospital in Kew to repair an injury that Richmond club doctor Greg Hickey described as one of the worst of its type.
Brown's tibia and fibula in his right leg had fractured as a result of the smother by Melbourne defender Matthew Whelan early in the final quarter of Friday night's match at Telstra Dome.
Brown was treated on the ground before being stretchered off and taken immediately by ambulance to hospital.
He's expected to stay in hospital for two to three days and his leg will remain in plaster for some time.
A six month recovery period is considered the best case scenario for such an injury.
all the best too him.. hopefully he will be back to his best at some point next year.. good luck browny
