Capitals' Backstrom undergoes hip resurfacing surgery | |
Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom underwent invasive surgery on his left hip, a move that could sideline him long term but is designed to give him a chance to continue playing hockey. The Capitals said Saturday that Backstrom had hip-resurfacing surgery a day earlier at the ANCA Clinic in Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium. No timeline was given on his return other than the team saying Backstrom will begin a "lengthy" rehabilitation and recovery process immediately. Backstrom missed the first two months of this past regular season rehabbing the hip and also needed constant treatment to play. He knew he couldn't go into next season without doing something to solve the problem. MORE | |
