Tuf Cooper had successful surgery to repair fracture in his left hand, he announced Monday.
Cooper got the surgery done in Colorado Springs by Dr. Chance Henderson, who is not only one top-notch hand specialist, but also a calf roper himself.
“Pretty awesome to have a surgeon that understands how the injury happened and how to fix it, so that I can start competing soon and still heal properly,” Cooper wrote on Facebook. “Crazy a tiny little thing like the tip of your finger would need this much attention but fingers are important for what we do. Glad I got to keep mine.”
Cooper is currently No. 2 in the PRCA Tie-Down Roping World Standings.
