Secretary of State Hillary Clinton underwent successful surgery at GW Hospital this morning after fracturing her elbow Wednesday.

“Her doctors at the George Washington University Hospital have advised her that they expect her to make a full recovery without lasting damage to her arm,” Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff told reporters.

The fall took place in the State Department basement while Clinton was en route to the White House.

Clinton has canceled her public appointments and is spending the weekend with her family in Washington.
