The team said Monday that Mathis was hurt in training last week and had the surgery Friday in Santa Monica.
Mathis was re-acquired by the Galaxy in January from MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake.
The 32-year-old midfielder, in his third stint with the Galaxy, has already started his rehabilitation and could return to full training before the end of pre-season.
Mathis is expected to be ready for the March 27 season opener against New England.
