Pole has part of his elbow replaced to improve mobility
Robert Kubica has undergone further surgery on his elbow in an effort to improve mobility following his crash whilst rallying at the start of last year.
The Pole was forced to miss the entire 2011 season, with Renault - now Lotus - drafting in Nick Heidfeld and later Bruno Senna as replacements.
The most recent corrective surgery took place in Italy, with Dr Roger Testoni, head of hand surgery at the Pederzoli nursing home, replacing part of Kubica's elbow.
"This way, the driver can fully handle the wheel," Testoni was quoted by Italian news agency
ANSA.
"Previously he was unable to turn the wheel down with has palm, and was forced to take his hand off the wheel for left-hand corners."
