WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Stephen G. Breyer of the United States Supreme Court was in a Washington hospital after shoulder replacement surgery on Saturday following a bicycle accident.
Justice Breyer, 74, was expected to make a full recovery after the operation, said a court spokeswoman, Kathy Arberg.
His right shoulder was injured on Friday in a fall near the Korean War Veterans Memorial.
Previously, the justice broke his collarbone in an accident in 2011 and sustained broken ribs and a punctured lung in a bicycle crash in 1993, before he joined the court.
President Bill Clinton appointed Justice Breyer to the court in 1994.
