Michelle Wie will miss the rest of this season after undergoing surgery Thursday to fix injuries that have plagued her right hand in the second half of this year.Wie announced in an Instagram post that three ailments have been causing the pain in her hand: an avulsion fracture, bone spurs and nerve entrapment.An avulsion fracture is an injury to the bone where it attaches to a ligament or tendon.
View this post on Instagram I think John Mayer once said, Someday, everything will make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, be strong and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason. A lot of people have been asking me whats been going on with my hand and I havent shared much, because I wasnt sure what was going on myself. After countless MRIs, X-rays, CT scans, and doctor consultations, I was diagnosed with having a small Avulsion Fracture, bone spurring, and nerve entrapment in my right hand. After 3 cortisone injections and some rest following the British Open, we were hoping it was going to be enough to grind through the rest of the season, but it just wasnt enough to get me through. So I made the decision after Hana Bank to withdraw from the rest of the season, come back to the states, and get surgery to fix these issues. Its been disheartening dealing with pain in my hand all year but hopefully I am finally on the path to being and STAYING pain free! Happy to announce that surgery was a success today and I cannot wait to start my rehab so that I can come back stronger and healthier than ever. Huge thank you to Dr. Weilands team at HSS for taking great care of me throughout this process and to all my fans for your unwavering support. It truly means the world to me. Ill be back soon guys!!!!

She played those events with what she hoped was a new pain-free swing, one modeled after Steve Stricker, with more passive hands and wrists. She went 1-3 at the UL Crown and tied for 59th in the limited field Hana Bank.After 3 cortisone injections and some rest following the British Open, we were hoping it was going to be enough to grind through the rest of the season, but it just wasnt enough to get me through, she wrote.

Wie, who just turned 29 last week, started the year saying her top goal was to try to stay injury free. She won the HSBC Womens World Championship in March, but her goal seemed doomed with a diagnosis of arthritis in both wrists before the year even started.Over the last few years, Wie has dealt with neck, back, hip, knee and ankle injuries. Plus, there was an emergency appendectomy that knocked her out of action for more than a month late last season. Her wrists have been an issue going back to early in her career.I dont think there is one joint or bone in her body that hasnt had some sort of injury or issue, Wies long-time swing coach, David Leadbetter, said earlier this year.
