Federica will skip the summer preparation: if he does it, how will Cortina arrive in Milan? The orthopedist: “That area must bear the changes of management”
The woman of the games. An investiture that Federica Brignone has earned throughout her career, at the top for a decade, but above all in this season dominated with the claws of the tiger. The second World Cup and two specialty trophies (descent and superg) one year after the Olympiad at home constituted the wonderful passing for five circles paradise, a golden projection towards the appointment of life, moreover at home. Adding the pearl, in January, of the success in Superg on the Olympia delle Tofane, the track that will host the Olympic races and from which it had always been rejected.
Games danger
–
It seemed like a sign of fate, but the fate turned to her against a placid April morning while the Giant of the Absolutes was dominating: the arm that impacts the pole, Federica who goes into extra-circulation with an unnatural pressure on the left leg. Crac. Which is the noise of a dream that crashes dangerously, even if you should never underestimate the recovery skills and pride of a champion. To guide us among the risks of a certainly complex injury is Dr. Loris Perticarini, orthopedic to the Poliambulanza and Brescia Foundation and collaborator of the JMEDICAL in Turin: “A multi -final fracture, that is, with the bone that breaks in several points and also with the interest of the ligament, obviously presents a greater gravity than that composed, also because in that area the articulation is grafted on the area cartilage “.
But from the moment when the Tam Tam of Federica’s fall has started to populate the news of the information sites, a single question runs on the mouth of the enthusiasts: what recovery times are foreseen? Still Perticarini: “A normal person returns to walk after three to four months. But here there is also a breakdown of the ligaments and we are talking about a champion who must perform at most and therefore find the optimal condition. Among other things, the tibial dish and the head of the perone in ski must bear the sudden changes of direction of the curves, therefore the times to reach the top are strength. The bone of healing “. Surgery is the only solution to resolve the break, which will then obviously follow the delicate phase of recovery and rehabilitation: “In the bone a plaque is inserted with screws to stabilize the injured area, but there is no immobilization with the plaster: and after a unloading phase, it can be started with the loading works”. What if it will be at the games, how will it get there? We need faith. Now more than ever.
