The Lightning just released this statement regarding Lecavalier’s surgery:
Tampa Bay Lightning center Vincent Lecavalier underwent successful surgery today to repair the Glenoid Labrum in his right shoulder. The surgery was performed by noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.
Lecavalier dislocated the shoulder in the Lightning’s game on April 3 at Washington. A detailed rehabilitation protocol will be established by Dr. Andrews’ personal physical therapist and will be conducted under the supervision of the Lightning medical staff.
It is expected that Lecavalier will complete a full recovery in time to be ready for the team’s 2008 Training Camp.
This is obviously good news for Vinny and the team. Dr. Andrews is one of the best, if not the best, in the world at these types of surgeries. Lecavalier will likely do most of his rehab in Montreal this summer. Of course, this does put a kink in his off-season vacation plans. He mentioned during exit interviews that he had already called and cancelled his trip.

There is no such thing as “successful surgery.”
Why? Because you never read about “unsuccessful surgery.:”
Was Vinnie’s surgery successful because his arm was still attached when it was over?
Look it up—everyone of Grant Hill’s seven surgeries were “deemed successful.”
Just write a person had surgery. Period. We’ll judge how successful it is in a couple years.
