Third Surgery for Corzine

Doctors say they hope Governor Jon Corzine won't need any more surgery. Corzine's broken left leg was operated on yesterday to remove dead tissue and muscle.

REPORTER: The procedure was described as "uneventful." Doctor Robert Ostrum, chief of orthopedic trauma at Cooper University Hospital, says the governor faces a long recovery.

OSTRUM: Given time, he will walk normally. He will need assistance devices, such as a walker or a cane for whatever that period of time is. He will walk normally without assistance devices in 3 months - that would be my hope.

REPORTER: Ostrum did not say when Corzine would be taken off the ventilator. The governor remains in critical, but stable condition following last week's car accident on the Garden State Parkway.
