How is player Xuan Son's health now?

GĐXH - Nearly two days after surgery, striker Xuan Son is practicing walking and receiving on-site training, preparing for the recovery phase.

According to information from Vinmec International General Hospital, this afternoon (January 8th), in addition to continuing to practice walking and leg movements for flexibility, player Xuan Son was instructed to do exercises in place to maintain strength in his shoulders and arm muscles, ensuring sufficient mass and strength in the upper limbs during the recovery phase.

According to Professor Tran Trung Dung, Director of the Orthopedics and Musculoskeletal Trauma Department at Vinmec Healthcare System - who directly performed the surgery on the male player - the recovery requirements for an athlete like Xuan Son are very high.

After surgery, the fractured bone needs to heal properly, but his muscle strength, endurance, and reflexes also need to be restored to their highest level so that he can return to high-intensity competition. This is a major challenge that the medical team has carefully planned to address.

Therefore, the team of experts at Vinmec developed a detailed training plan, with a clear schedule for each day, to optimize endurance, strength, and recovery for player Xuan Son.

In addition, a carefully planned diet, allocating nutrient groups and estimating calorie intake appropriate for each activity, ensures a perfect balance for the male player's recovery process.

According to the planned schedule, during the first two weeks after surgery – a crucial period for recovery – the number 12 striker of the Vietnamese national team will focus on passive and active exercises, designed according to a personalized treatment plan at Vinmec.

These exercises include: strengthening the quadriceps, hamstrings, adductor muscles, and abductors; ankle exercises with resistance bands; isometric glute exercises to support pelvic stability and increase hip strength; and maintaining upper limb strength.

Earlier, on the evening of January 6th, after conducting in-depth examinations and consultations, doctors determined that Xuan Son's injuries were more serious than initially thought.

The consultation results indicated that Xuan Son suffered a complex closed fracture of the middle third of the shafts of both tibia and fibula, with a large detached fragment.

Vinmec Sports Medicine doctors decided on a closed osteotomy surgical method using intramedullary nails with locking pins under fluoroscopy. This is a minimally invasive surgical solution that minimizes soft tissue damage and ensures rapid recovery.
