Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor will undergo surgery on her shoulder Tuesday morning after injuring herself in a fall this month, the court said.
Sotomayor is scheduled to have "reverse total shoulder replacement surgery" after doctors discovered she fractured her left shoulder in a fall at her home on April 16, according to a statement from the court Monday.
After consulting with doctors, specialists determined surgery was needed, the court said.
