Shocking news comes from the world of football. One of the best players in history to defend FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi suffered a fracture when competing against Sevilla in the Spanish League at the Camp Nou Stadium, Sunday, October 21 2018 in the early hours of Indonesia. Messi will miss the Champions League match later this week and the prestigious El Clasico match against Real Madrid next week.
In the middle of the match, precisely in the 26th minute Messi had fallen while holding his arm. After getting a medical examination, the Argentine was diagnosed with a distal radial fracture. For information, the part of Messi's bone that had broken was the forearm bone.
In Indonesia, we know the bones in the lower bones as cubic bone and collecting bone. This messy bone belonging to Messi is broken. This bone is on the right arm and makes Messi miss the green field for at least three weeks.
The American Academy of Aorthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) states that cases of fractures or fractures in radial bones tend to occur frequently. If a medical examination shows that the victim does not need surgery, then he can immediately get a plaster cast or protector made of glass fiber material. Usually, this method is done if the broken bone is not far from the original bone and its position is easily returned. It's just that, if the fracture is far enough from the original bone, the doctor will usually use a reduction technique that uses a buffer and protector for a few days.
Buffers can be worn on the arm if the broken part starts to swell. The use of this buffer depends on how long the swelling appears. In addition, the doctor will usually do an X-ray examination to find out how severe or the position of the bone that has broken. Usually, this whole process can last for 6 weeks.
If the condition of a broken bone is severe enough, the doctor can do surgery to get the metal plate installed. After that, the patient must get physiotherapy in order to get back to activity.
