Philadelphia Flyers forward Simon Gagne had successful surgery on Thursday to repair damage in his right hip.

Dr. Thomas Byrd performed the surgery in Nashville to remove a bone spur and adhesions which had built up in the area.

The 29-year-old posted 34 goals and 74 points in 79 regular-season games for the Flyers in 2008-09, adding three goals and one assist in six playoff contests.

Gagne will begin rehab Friday and is expected to be fully recovered in four-to-six weeks.
