Morocco’s King Mohammed VI recently underwent successful surgery on his left shoulder after suffering a fall during a workout.
According to state media, the king’s medical team performed the surgery on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Royal Palace Clinic in Rabat.
The surgery was necessary due to a fracture in the humerus caused by the fall.

The king’s medical team, consisting of Pr. Belyamani Lahcen, Pr. Zine Ali, Pr. Bouabid Salim, Pr. Benchekroun Mohammed, and traumatology professors at the Mohammed V Military Training Hospital, have recommended a 45-day rest period to allow the shoulder to recover. Following this, the king will undergo a period of functional rehabilitation.
