Orthopedic trauma surgeon Dr Dean Lorich says Bono was trying to avoid another cyclist on Sunday.
Bono arrived at a Manhattan hospital with a facial fracture involving his left eye socket, his left shoulder blade fractured in three places and a left elbow fracture that broke the skin.
Lorich says Bono underwent a five-hour surgery on his elbow in which three plates and 18 screws were inserted on Sunday night. Bono had another surgery to repair a fracture to his left little finger on Monday.
Lorich says Bono will need therapy but a full recovery is expected.
U2 says it'll have to reschedule a planned week long appearance on NBC's Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
No @U2 this week. But we'll think of something and send vibes to Bono for a speedy recovery.
