What Surgery did Michael van Gerwen Need?
Ahead of the World Darts Championship, the Dutchman also revealed he needed major dental surgery – with more coming up once it ends.
He said:“I haven’t even finished yet. I’m not even halfway through.
“I’ll have an operation in which they’re going to break my upper jaw and lower jaw. Put them right on each other.
“Then it’s all about recovery. Two years more in a brace. Then I’m about finished.
“Between the first operation this year and the second one, there has to be a minimum of one year.
“It’s because my upper jaw is a lot smaller than my lower jaw. My underbite is over a centimetre.
“Even a slice of ham, I cannot even bite properly. And because my upper jaw is too small also you get less oxygen through your nose.
“That creates headaches. Less sleep. Things like that.”
