The surgeon gave Xuan Son an important news, fans suddenly "shouted" Van Hau

GS. Dr. Tran Trung Dung - Director of Orthopedic and Musculoskeletal Trauma, V. Health System (abbreviated), who directly performed the operation, revealed Xuan Son's condition.

He said that player Xuan Son was awake, painless and began to move his toes lightly immediately after the surgery. Although it is still necessary to closely monitor the overall condition and software damage, this is a good sign for a hopeful recovery journey ahead.

Dr. Dung said that he decided to combine a closed bone with an intramedullary nail with a latch under the brightening screen to operate on the striker wearing the number 12 jersey. According to the doctor, this is a minimally invasive surgical solution, which minimizes soft tissue damage and ensures a quick recovery. The doctors put a 38 cm nail in Xuan Son's leg and this player did not have to open surgery.

After conducting in-depth examinations and expert consultations, Vinmec determined that Xuan Son's injuries were more serious than originally recorded. The results of the consultation recorded: Xuan Son had a complex closed fracture of 1/3 between the torso and two shin bones, with two large loose pieces.

"Xuan Son's injury is quite severe, breaking two very large pieces, one 7cm piece and one 3cm piece. With the goal of helping players recover early, especially in the ability to heal bones, we perform a closed intramedullary nailing technique to ensure that the anatomy is preserved, does not displace the fracture fragments and does not have to open the fracture drive. The surgical process is carefully monitored by a C-arm machine (intraoperative x-ray machine) to ensure the requirements in terms of anatomy, adjustment and fixation. The operation was a great success," said GS.TS.BS. Tran Trung Dung.

Xuan Son will enter the physiotherapy and rehabilitation stage with optimal support from experts at V health system.

It is expected that on January 7, player Xuan Son can start training gently and move with crutches, gradually getting closer to the day of returning to the field. However, it takes at least 8 months to 1 year to be able to play again.

In fact, serious injuries are something that players are not strange to and are very afraid of. According to Reuters, Dr. Jason Dragoo, a sports doctor at Stanford University (Redwood, California), warned that the consequences of broken legs in football players may not be the same as in other sports, because football is a sport that requires a lot not only in terms of strength but also in terms of dexterity of the legs. Therefore, players who break their legs also need to practice for a long time after successful surgery.

However, doctors also said that with modern medicine and technology, up to 83% of players when returning from injury can play at the same or even higher level than before.

There is another word "however", according to doctors, that is that many players after breaking their legs decide to retire early, not play football at all, or only play for a short time and then rest. But the reason is not that they can't play anymore, but that two-thirds of people who don't return to football after a broken bone give personal reasons, mainly the fear of re-injury, not the pain or stiffness of the leg.

In addition, many players have played football again but kicked more "cowardly" because they are still haunted by the fear of injury, according to the syndrome of "birds afraid of curved branches".

So, both doctors and players who have been injured say that the biggest challenge for a player with a broken leg is his mind, his spirit. There are many steps on the road to recovery, and conquering each step is like putting each piece into a picture, until the picture is complete, that is, when that player is really fully recovered. You have to be very persistent, very strong, very hardworking.

With the encouragement and affection of the people of our country, with their positive spirit, with their love for football, Xuan Son will definitely return. In addition to Xuan Son, another case, Van Hau, also caused regret when he suspended his career due to injury.
