Overview

  • On June 27, Beckham underwent surgery to extract a metal screw inserted after a May 2003 wrist fracture at Durban’s Kings Park Stadium.
  • Doctors opted for the operation after a routine scan revealed the dissolvable pin had failed to break down, leading to recent severe pain.
  • The procedure was successful and Beckham has returned home in a sling, where he is now recuperating with support from his family.
  • Victoria Beckham has shared a “get well soon daddy” Instagram post along with photos and a kitchen video showing her husband tending to vegetables.
  • The surgery underscores the long-term physical toll of his illustrious football career, which includes Manchester United, Real Madrid and his current role with Inter Miami CF.
