Xuan Son received good news from the postoperative doctor, Tien Linh immediately came to challenge

Xuan Son has just undergone surgery lasting more than 1 hour at Vinmec Hospital. After the surgery, he optimistically said that he would return to the field soon. So will the performance be affected?

On the afternoon of January 7, Prof. Dr. Tran Trung Dung, Center for Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, Vinmec International Hospital, who directly performed the surgery on Nguyen Xuan Son, said that the current condition of the male player is very positive. He is no longer in pain, his mobility is gentle and he recovers positively.

"The opportunity for Xuan Son to return to top sports is completely possible. Technically speaking, nothing too complicated. However, surgery only accounts for 10% of the process, and 90% of recovery depends on the work behind," Professor Dung emphasized.

The expert said that the multi-specialty coordination in treatment is an important factor to help Xuan Son return to top form. Each stage of the male striker's recovery will need to be closely monitored by the sports medicine team, from nutrition and weight control to specialized recovery exercises in each stage.

"For injuries related to joints and ligaments, recovery can sometimes rely on luck. However, in the case of Xuan Son's fracture, as long as the bone fusion process is good and the recovery is correct, the ability to return to 100% performance is completely possible," Professor Dung added.

In the morning of the same day, Nguyen Tien Linh visited his teammate Nguyen Xuan Son. The pair of Vietnamese strikers recreated the heart-shaped celebration with their hands and interacted very happily with each other. Encouraging Xuan Son, Tien Linh said "I look forward to confronting Nam Dinh Green Steel Club players on the field soon, in domestic tournaments".

Previously, at the exchange with the audience, the striker from Hai Duong once said that everyone was very happy when Xuan Son joined the Vietnam team, and at the same time tried to help the striker from Brazil integrate into the team as quickly as possible. "Xuan Son can speak a few sentences in Vietnamese, praise the delicious food. In all professional matters, Xuan Son integrates well with his teammates, so he does not face too many difficulties," Tien Linh said.

Regarding Xuan Son's surgery, this guy is currently entering the process of physical therapy and rehabilitation, combined with individualized nutrition, suitable for each stage of recovery. In the immediate future, he is trained and can move with crutches.

In the next 1-2 weeks, Xuan Son will be able to walk normally, but he needs at least 6-8 months to return to training. This means that the 27-year-old striker will miss the entire 2024/25 season, missing the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup.

Xuan Son's injury occurred in the final of the second leg of the 2024 ASEAN Cup on the evening of January 5, when he was counterattacking on the right edge when he suddenly fell to the field. The strong fall caused the male player's right leg to be bent, creating a serious injury. After receiving first aid at the field, 9x was quickly transferred to Bangkok Hospital for examination.

Less than 24 hours after the injury, Xuan Son had surgery in Vietnam. Initially, doctors diagnosed the injury of the striker born in 1997 as not too serious. However, after conducting a thorough consultation and examination, experts confirmed that his condition was more serious than expected, with a very large fracture. This makes the surgical process more complicated.

The doctors decided to use the intramedullary nailing technique without opening the fracture, which helps protect the bone anatomy and avoid pushing the broken fragments. The surgery lasted 85 minutes. The doctor used ultrasound and CT to check and ensure the correct bone alignment. After the surgery, Xuan Son was closely cared for and monitored, with the hope of recovering well to return to the field soon.
