California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will undergo surgery on Tuesday to repair the leg he broke during a skiing accident, his office said.

The 59-year-old former movie star, who broke his right femur while on holiday with his family in Sun Valley, Idaho, on Saturday, is currently in an undisclosed California hospital awaiting the routine procedure, a statement said.

The surgery, which involves the insertion of orthopedic cables and screws, should last less than two hours, it added.

Schwarzenegger will be kept for observation for three days, and will use crutches during the eight-week recovery period, the statement said.

Flap knew that the governor would return for surgery sooner than was first indicated. In February of this year Flap took over a dentist’s practice who had fractured his femur in a roller blade accident. He also had surgery to reset and stabilize his leg.

The Governor will not be too mobile for the next 3-4 weeks and the pain will be nagging for at least two weeks.

Don’t look for too much activity from the Governator until the first of February and the inauguration festivities will be curtailed and rescheduled.

Stay tuned as Cruz Bustamecha finally becomes Governor for a few hours in the morning.
