Chapter 12 is excellent, very inspiring.
Christian Viktor, 26 years old, 78 kg judo athlete.
They had almost secured a spot on the Italian national team.
But now this has happened.
He will definitely have to participate in the selection process again.
But the problem is, by the time he recovers, the Olympic selection cycle will already be halfway through. Even if he can recover, how much might he recover?
Can he reach the level he was at before the injury?
Christian Victor felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
To put yourself in a hospital bed.
My mind is racing with thoughts.
When the anesthesia ended, he subconsciously looked at his knee, which was now wrapped in thick bandages.
Once bodily sensation gradually returns.
He could feel that his knees were swollen like steamed buns, and every movement felt like being cut with a knife.
Moreover, they can only raise their legs straight.
Even bending it slightly causes me so much pain that I break out in a cold sweat.
He has a friend who has had the same surgery.
Therefore, he remembered his friend's noticeably atrophied leg muscles when he helped him to the bathroom.
I waited for several months.
I was finally able to walk with crutches, but it felt like walking on cotton.
And they were very careful with every step.
I'm terrified of it breaking down again.
This psychological fear is even more frightening.
In the end, his friend chose to retire and leave judo forever.
Christian Victor doesn't know what he'll be like a year from now.
"Your rehabilitation will be handled by Wood. He just treated Recoba, that Inter Milan player, you know?"
Roberto Mochini interrupted the other person's rambling thoughts.
Give up the trees behind you.
"Huh?" Christian Victor was taken aback for a moment, then glanced sideways at the table where a newspaper sat.
The cover features Inter Milan's comeback to draw with Palermo, with Recoba making a miraculous recovery from injury and assisting his teammate.
This gave Christian Victor a glimmer of hope.
"Hello, Christian, just call me Wood. First of all, I can tell you that the surgery was very successful, but I also have to tell you that the success of ACL reconstruction is only half due to the surgery; the other half depends on perseverance."
"You have to accept this psychological gap."
"If you do that, I think you'll get through the rehabilitation period and gain a stable knee, and other important things."
"Of course, from a professional perspective..."
Lin Mu believes that as a doctor, especially in sports medicine, it is essential to give patients confidence.
After listening to Lin Mu's technical jargon, Christian Victor's anxiety lessened considerably, and he also remembered what his coach had once told him.
True strength is not about never getting hurt, but about choosing to get back up after being hurt.
Lin Mu picked up another piece of paper, turned it around, but couldn't find a pen. Then he saw a pen clipped to Roberto Mochini's chest. "Teacher?"
"Oh, here you go." Roberto Mochini was still wondering why Lin Mu had suddenly become so talkative.
Lin Mu took the pen and began to write quickly.
Weeks 0-2: Reduce swelling, passive movement, neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
Weeks 2-6: Angle training and scar management.
Weeks 6-12: Full-scale activities...
After finishing writing, Lin Mu casually tucked the pen into his breast pocket and handed the paper to Christian Victor. "If you cooperate with me, I will compress each step to the shortest possible time."
"I will cooperate!"
Christian Victor agreed without hesitation.
"Great, very energetic, keep it up!"
Lin Mu gave a thumbs up.
......
"Why do I find you've changed so much?"
Roberto Mochini felt that trees were like onions, with layer after layer, making them impossible to see through.
"Teacher, I've been researching sports psychology lately, maybe it's related to this?"
Lin Mu made it up on the spot.
But I felt a pang of regret that the recovery period for patients undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery was too long.
Even if they achieve results in the competition, it will be a year later.
Suddenly, an email popped up on my phone; it was the sports weekly that Lin Mu had subscribed to.
"The Shanghai International Athletics Golden Grand Prix is about to begin. Liu Xiang, a favorite to win the 110-meter hurdles, won the silver medal in the men's 110-meter hurdles at the 13th World Athletics Championships last month with a time of 08 seconds, creating the best result in the history of Chinese male athletes at the World Championships."
"World-renowned 100-meter sprinter Justin Gatlin confidently stated that he is likely to break the men's 100-meter world record this year, which was set in June by Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell at 9.77 seconds."
"..."
Lin Mu thought about it carefully.
Liu Xiang seems to have participated in a lot of competitions this year, especially after entering April, his results have been consistently between 13.05 and 25 seconds.
Although he did not run the world record of 12.91 seconds like he did at the Athens Olympics.
In all the international competitions they participated in, they ranked in the top three, maintaining an extremely high level of consistency.
The fervent adoration for Liu Xiang in China has not diminished but rather increased.
Whenever he participates in a competition, regardless of the weather or the start time, the venue is always packed.
The audience screamed Liu Xiang's name as if they were at a concert.
There were even incidents where spectators tried to snatch Liu Xiang's competition uniform.
It may also be due to its unparalleled popularity and high box office appeal.
Liu Xiang had to shuttle between one competition venue after another to participate in the races.
The hardships of travel were a constant companion to him.
"Does failing to achieve his best result mean that fatigue somewhat limited his ability to strive for even better results?" Lin Mu unconsciously returned to his office.
and.
The more fervent the domestic audience is now, the more they will hate Liu Xiang when he withdraws from the competition.
Lin Mu searched for relevant information.
It was revealed some time ago that Liu Xiang was diagnosed with tendinopathy, but it seems that it has not received much attention.
No specific details were reported.
"It feels like Achilles tendon overuse syndrome."
Lin Mu reviewed the medical records of other hurdler athletes.
The Achilles tendon, a thick tendon connecting the heel and the lower leg, is one of the strongest tendons in the human body.
It is responsible for connecting the gastrocnemius and deep gastrocnemius muscles of the lower leg to the calcaneus.
It is the key to winning or losing for sprinters.
The pain associated with Achilles tendon overuse.
It mainly comes from the area where the Achilles tendon connects to the calcaneus.
That is, the periosteum.
This type of pain is medically termed "unbearable pain".
"It's no use for me to go to them now. I need to hone my skills, gain experience and improve my level first. Once I've built up my reputation, then they'll come to me."
Lin Mu has always been very clear about his own position.
Then he continued working on his thesis, hoping to get his PhD degree as soon as possible and have more time for other things.
......
9 month 14 day.
"How are you feeling?" Lin Mu pressed down on the inside of the man's right thigh on the examination bed.
"The pain is quite intense."
The man answered honestly.
Lin Mu withdrew his hand. "You have a severe tear of the inner thigh muscle, which is more than a grade one strain. But as long as it heals well and the scar is properly managed, you will recover quickly."
"Can I return to competition before the end of November?"
The man asked.
Lin Mu looked up.
The man in front of him was named Javier Zanetti.
He is also the captain of Inter Milan.
"Why the rush?"
The trees were puzzled.
Zanetti's eyes sharpened. "Because of the Milan derby."
