It's been a season to forget for the Finland's Matti Lehikoinen, with his latest crash in training at the Canberra World Cup last weekend taking him out of action for the duration of the 2008 season.
Lehikoinen returned home to Finland on Monday, after he decided to have surgery in his home country rather than in Australia. He broke the radius bone in both of his hands, with the right hand being worse than the left. There's still no 100% confirmation on the condition on his scaphoid bones in both hands at the moment, but the possibility of fractures does exist and will need to be explored with his doctors.
