University of North Carolina quarterback Bryn Renner had successful surgery on his left ankle to remove an anterior bone spur and a posterior accessory bone Wednesday.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Bob Anderson in Charlotte at Carolinas Medical Center – Mercy. Dr Anderson heads the foot and ankle division at OrthoCarolina. Renner is expected to make a full recovery. His status will be updated at the beginning of spring practice.

Renner’s ankle condition became an issue in mid-July, approximately three weeks before the start of UNC’s training camp. After consulting with the UNC sports medicine staff, Renner and his family made the decision to play with a hinged ankle brace and postpone surgery until after the season.

A native of West Springfield, Va., Renner had an outstanding sophomore season, completing 239 of 350 attempts for 3,086 yards and a single-season school record 26 touchdowns.
