Arkansas freshman guard Boogie Fland had successful surgery today to repair an injury to his Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) on his right thumb, performed by Dr. Bob Hotchkiss at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.
The injury originally occurred in Arkansas’ game against Florida (Jan. 11) and he attempted to play through it over the Razorbacks’ past two games (at LSU and at Missouri).
After consulting with team physicians and multiple hand specialists, surgery was selected as the best option for full recovery.
There is no timetable for his return. Fland will begin his rehab immediately and will continue to work with the training staff at the University of Arkansas.
