Mentioning how the injury got triggered again while shooting action sequences for Koratala Siva's Telugu movie, Devara and Saif said that he continued working, under the impression that everything would be fine. "Then I was working out, and the pain felt aggravated, and then it became okay."
Only when the MRI was done was the gravity of the situation revealed. He added, "It was then that we discovered that the tricep's tendon was torn very badly, barely holding in place like a rubber band, which can snap at any moment."
Saif Ali Khan mentioned that it was only during the surgery that the medical staff realised how serious the injury was, saying, "When they opened up the arm - and there is quite a big cut where they opened it up - they realised the surgery was very badly needed. They cleaned it up, removed the fluid, sorted out the nerve as well as stitched up the tricep so wonderfully. I must say the doctors in charge were brilliant. They made some incisions in the bone and re-attached the tendon with a kind of anchor with dissolvable material that blends into the bone and heals the whole arm perfectly," he added.
The actor was spotted a few hours ago heading home from the hospital with his wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan.
