Corinthians doctor Joaquim Grava says surgeons had to insert 12 screws on Wednesday in the hand that Ronaldo broke during a Brazilian league match over the weekend.
Ronaldo is expected to be sidelined for at least a month.
Corinthians said on its website that Ronaldo will remain hospitalized until Thursday.
