Surgery and at least three months of healing. The wish of Young Lo Celso to avoid losing the Qatar World Cup 2022 They contrasted with the inevitable path determined by his injury. That’s it, as a traumatologist explained Clarionethe right leg hamstring detachment has an operation as the only rehabilitation method.
“Unlike conservative treatment for a tear, hamstring detachment is always surgical”clarified Mariano Loguzzo (MN 137536), who a few years ago was able to work in the professional football teams of Banfield, All Boys and Tigre.
But what happened to Lo Celso in that match between Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao when he wanted to throw a cue from the edge of the area? “A proximal detachment occurs when the attachment of the muscle to the bone is broken, which is done by the tendons,” he explained.
“The hamstring is part of the poorly named hamstrings, along with the semitendinosus and semimembranous. All three insert proximally into the ischial tuberosity. Distally, the semitendinosus and semimembranous end in the tibia, while the hamstring inserts in the fibula, “he added.
And he concluded: “This muscle group is the main flexor of the knee, which is why it is very important in the athlete who practices a discipline that has sprinting, braking and, mainly, starting and jumping”.
The chances of being able to prevent this type of injury are more difficult than in a muscle tear, as that type usually has warnings like “fatigue”. “Here it can be something more acute, you might be fine and the muscle ends up breaking,” Loguzzo clarified.
So, after the match between the player’s desire to do the impossible to be in Qatar, the Argentine national team and the clubs that have an interest in him (record holder Tottenham and Villarreal where he is on loan) everything has led to ‘operation.
“The delay concerned the reliable certification that it was a detachment and not a proximal tear. While in the latter case the treatment is conservative with physiotherapy and kinesitherapy, in case of detachment it is always surgical, indicated Loguzzo.
And, on recovery times, he closed: “There are several techniques, but the most common is the anchoring of this myotendinous tissue to the bone by means of harpoons. Biological times must be respected, the muscle must come into contact with the bone so that the body itself goes ‘to hit’. From three to six weeks you have to respect that time. Sporting discharge is not earlier than three months“.
