It has been reported that Britney Spears has sustained an injured knee while
filming a video this Tuesday night, this means there will be possible delays
to her soon to embark tour.
Spears was in Queens, New York, shooting a video for her next single, "Outrageous,"
the theme to the upcoming "Catwoman" movie, and had just completed
scenes with guest star Snoop Dogg when she injured her knee around 11:30 p.m.
While doing some choreography, her knee gave out and she crashed to the ground.
Spears was rushed to a hospital, where she received an MRI scan. Doctors determined
that the singer had floating cartilage in her knee, and she underwent arthroscopic
surgery, according to her spokesperson.
There's no word yet what type of rehabilitation Spears will require for the
injury, how long it will delay the completion of the video shoot, or how it
will impact the resumption of her North American tour, which is scheduled to
begin June 22 in Hartford, Connecticut.
The common prognosis for recovery from surgical arthroscopy is a two-to-three-week
recovery, but obviously that prognosis does not take into account the kind of
dancing Spears' live set requires. Her camp expects details in a few days.
In March the singer postponed two shows because of a knee injury suffered onstage
(see "Britney Spears Cancels Show After Injuring Knee"), and four
years ago Spears underwent surgery after twisting her knee during a dance rehearsal
(see "Britney Spears Sidelined For A Month Following Knee Injury").
