At 7pm tonight, Vinmec Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center - where player Nguyen Xuan Son is being treated - after his injury in the first half of the ASEAN Cup final on the evening of January 5, said that after conducting in-depth examinations, doctors assessed the player's injury as serious. Specifically, Xuan Son suffered a complex closed fracture of the middle third of the 2 tibia bones, with a large loose fragment.
After consultation, the doctors decided on the surgical method of closed bone fixation using intramedullary nails with pins under the fluoroscopy screen. This is a minimally invasive surgical solution, helping to minimize soft tissue damage and ensure recovery time.
Xuan Son was taken into the operating room at 6pm tonight. The surgery is expected to last 1 hour, after which he will be transferred to the intensive care unit for monitoring and assessment.
The main doctor performing the surgery for player Xuan Son is Professor Tran Trung Dung, director of the Center for Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, an experienced surgeon.
Vinmec Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center is also the place that has treated and rehabilitated players after injuries such as defender Le Van Xuan (injured in the semi-final match of SEA GAMES 31 between U23 Vietnam and U23 Malaysia);
Female players Thai Thi Thao and Chuong Thi Kieu. After treatment, both female players Kieu and Thao have returned to competition with good form.
