The comedian and radio host, 53, shared a video post-surgery on his 2Day FM’s radio show’s Instagram account this week.
In the video, Hughesy’s arm is in a brace and he’s in his hospital bed as he reveals the surgery went well and he’ll be back on his show Hughesy Ed & Erin soon.

He also called into the radio show and spoke to his co-hosts, saying his surgeon also once operated on Shane Warne and Russell Crowe.
“The surgery was meant to be keyhole, but they said it was a horrendous shoulder thingamajig, they had to open me up,” he said.
Over New Year’s, Hughesy revealed he had a surfing accident and said at the time that he had dislocated his shoulder.
“Happy NY. Had my least sober NYE in 30+ years. Green whistle came after two hours of worst pain of my life, plus morphine and the rest of them,” he wrote on Instagram.
He added: “Shoulder dislocation whilst surfing. ‘9 out of 10 level nerve damage.’ Shout out to wife, @surfersparadiseslsc, and GC medical professionals for their much-needed help! Will be in a sling for a while, not sure when my next right-handed high five will be.”
Earlier this week, Hughesy said on his radio show that he may have undiagnosed ADHD.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)inattention and impulsivity.
Last year, SBS News reported that Hughesy said he became addicted to vaping, years after quitting smoking.
“Before I knew it, I was hooked on vaping,” he said after being handed a vape at a party.
“Every night I’d say ‘no, I’m not going to do it tomorrow’. And then I was doing breakfast radio, so then I’d find myself at 4.30 in the morning vaping again.”
He added: “The nicotine just gets straight back into you.”
Hughesy did stand-up comedy before his big break in TV. He joined radio in 2001.
