ATLANTA - Jimmy Carter fell and injured his shoulder while jogging in San Diego last week and underwent surgery in Atlanta, a spokeswoman reported yesterday.
The 76-year-old former president hurt his right rotator cuff while jogging on the beach Thursday, Carter Center spokeswoman Carrie Harmon said.
Carter underwent surgery Friday at Emory University Hospital and was released on Saturday, she said. She said Carter is expected to recover fully after a few weeks of physical therapy.
Carter had traveled to San Diego on Carter Center business.
