Schwarzenegger cleared to resume duties after surgery

SACRAMENTO -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's broken right femur was repaired today and he was cleared to resume his official duties, the governor's office announced.

The surgery to fix his thigh bone, which the governor broke Saturday while skiing in Sun Valley Idaho, lasted an hour and a half. Schwarzenegger was cleared to resume his duties at approximately 10:45 a.m., according to the news release.

In the prepared statement, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Ehrhart said the surgery "involved using cables and screws to wire the two main fragments of the governor's broken femur bone back together. It lasted approximately an hour an a half, was without complication, and the post-operation x-rays look great.

"Following the surgery, the governor was awake, alert and talking in the recovery room. He is now fully coherent and I have cleared him to resume his duties as governor," Ehrhart said.

Schwarzenegger will remain in the hospital for three days and will take approximately eight weeks to heal, said Ehrhart, who predicted a full recovery. The governor is not in a cast and will use crutches to walk while his leg heals, he said.

Aides said that preparations are being made for the governor to work from the hospital on his inauguration next month, the state of the State address and the 2006-07 budget proposal.

Adi Erber, a ski instructor who was with the governor at the time of the accident, said that Schwarzenegger was standing still, preparing for the final 200 yards of the run on Bald Mountain in Sun Valley, Idaho. The governor's ski pole got caught in one of his skis, causing him to trip and fall.

Erber described it as a "freak accident.''

He said the governor was in pain, and that a rescue team took him down the hill on a toboggan. Schwarzenegger was then taken to the hospital for X-rays.

The two men, accompanied by security guards, had been skiing for about two hours prior to the accident, Erber said.

"It was the last run down,'' Erber said. "He was trying to take off again and he tripped.''

Erber, a fellow Austrian, said that skiing is one of Schwarzenegger's favorite sports, and predicted that once the governor's leg heals he would be back at it.

"I've skied with him for 18 years,'' he said. "He's an expert skier.''

He added that the governor "will be back in shape in no time. And I'm sure he will ski again.''

While Schwarzenegger was on the surgery table, Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante was in charge. He was notified this morning that Schwarzenegger had been cleared, according to a prepared statement by Andrea Hoch, his legal affairs secretary.
