(AP)  Third-place "Dancing With the Stars" finisher Cristian de la Fuente is back in the swing of things.

The 33-year-old actor, who tore a tendon in his bicep while performing on the ABC dance competition, is recovering well from surgery, his publicist said Thursday.

"The doctor said it was a perfect repair," publicist Cynthia Snyder told The Associated Press. "He had his stitches out on Tuesday. Everything is going well."
