The Llanelli Scarlets player tweaked his left knee during last week's 18-18 draw with Italy, but the joint reacted and swelled up in 24 hours after he finished the match.
"Mark has undergone a minor surgical procedure following a scan and further assessment," physio Mark Davies said in a statement released by the Welsh team.
"He is ruled out of contention for this weekend's game, but is
expected to make a speedy return to action."
With just one win and a draw from four matches, Wales cannot retain their Six Nations crown but France top the standings and can lift the title with a victory in Saturday's game.
