Schwarzenegger Has Surgery On Injured Knee

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has had surgery to repair his right knee, which he injured while working out about two weeks ago.

The former bodybuilder pulled out of an environmental conference Saturday to have his knee examined. His staff did not disclose until Sunday afternoon that arthroscopic surgery was conducted Saturday to repair a torn meniscus.

Spokesman Matt David called the operation a "minor procedure" and noted that Schwarzenegger attended church Sunday, walking on his own.

The 61-year-old bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned politician has suffered numerous physical injuries over the years, most recently when he shattered his femur during a skiing accident in 2006.
