 | | A player of Vicenza may quit football because of a rare injury21.09.2015 |
A very rare injury could end the career of a footballer of Italian second-divisional Vicenza.
According to the medical staff of the team, the team's defender Nicolo Bridženti is most likely the first footballer in history, which gets a tear in the pancreas during a match. The 26-year-old guard was struck unintentionally knee in the stomach by its goalkeeper Mauro Vigorito during the match by serie B against Como.
'He continued to feel pain in his stomach and asked to be replaced.', he told the team doctor. 'He's stable, and then at the end of the first half, we looked at the situation differently. We took him to a hospital in Vicenza and a quick scan showed a little blood, but not the true origin of the problem.'
' It was carried out more thorough scanner that showed a torn pancreas. This is a very deep body, located near the spinal cord. In practice, the knee is squashed the pancreas to vertebrae.'
'The surgeon evaluated the situation and decided that surgery is needed. The quarterback went through the surgery late last night and woke up at 5 in the morning.'
'Now we are relatively confident, but we need to see how the situation will develop. The forecast can be given only after 4-5 days.'
'This is an extremely rare injury. I am a medic from over 40 years and I have no memory of patients with a ruptured pancreas. As for the players, I can't think of one such event in the world.'
'The surgeon told me in Vicenza, he was doing such an operation only once before, many years ago, a boy who was injured in a motorcycle accident.'
'Whether he will be able to play football again? In theory, we will see how much time will be needed. Certainly we have to wait for the next few days.', added the doctor.
