Xuan Son's wife reported that her husband was in critical condition, had a successful surgery, and began to practice therapy

After a serious injury in the second leg of the ASEAN Cup 2024 final on the evening of January 5, striker Nguyen Xuan Son was brought back to Vietnam and underwent a consultation at Vinmec Times City International Hospital.

The results of the ultrasound and scan showed that his injury was more serious than initially recorded. Xuan Son had a complex closed fracture 1/3 between the torso and leg bones, with a large loose fragment. The doctors decided on the surgical method of combining closed bones with intramedullary nails with pins under the brightening screen.

It is a minimally invasive surgical solution that minimizes soft tissue damage and ensures a quick recovery. The surgery is expected to last 1 hour, after which Xuan Son will be transferred to the intensive care area to monitor and assess his condition.

After the surgery, Xuan Son is awake, no longer in pain and can move his toes gently. He was transferred to the intensive care unit to continue monitoring and assessing his condition. Starting from January 7, he will enter the stage of physical therapy and rehabilitation with individualized nutrition suitable for each stage.
