whiplash & broken ribs

The captain of the Italian capital club Lazio, Ciro Immobile, crashed his car into a tram in Rome. Immobile was at the wheel of his car when the accident occurred on Sunday morning, as a spokesman for the fire department told the “German Press Agency” in Rome. The 33-year-old was traveling with his daughters. The older daughter came to the same hospital as her father for checks, and the youngest daughter to a children’s hospital, the Ansa news agency reported.

Immobile sustained whiplash to the spine and fractured one of the right ribs, Lazio said. His condition is currently good, but he will remain in the clinic for observation for the time being. “Fortunately I’m fine, my arm just hurts a bit,” the “Gazzetta dello Sport” had previously quoted the national striker as saying. It is not yet known how long the property will be out.

Professor Stefano Lovati from Rome’s Paideia Hospital told the association’s blog, “lalaziosiamonoi.it‘: ‘It’s a small hernia treated with rest and anti-inflammatories. So no surgery, no cast, nothing. But if it’s a complete fracture, it’s very painful and it takes two weeks to get back into full physical activity. It depends on whether it is an anterior or posterior fracture, or whether the costal arch is broken. That should be checked in a week, another x-ray should be taken, also to rule out lung problems.”

And that’s until the end of the season, I guess. I had a broken rib last year. All you can do is lie down and wait for it to heal on its own. This lasts for weeks and to this day I am not free of pain when I lie on my side for a long time (e.g. when sleeping). Ciro doesn’t have to think about sports/training at all during this time… of course it depends on which rib and where he broke it. I had no problems in that I could move. i…

The driver of the tram was also reportedly injured in the accident. The broken front of the vehicle could be seen in pictures published by the Italian media – and the tram that derailed as a result of the collision. Some passengers on the tram were also taken to the hospital for examinations, the Ansa news agency reported. The police initially gave no details about the course of the accident. A spokesman for the transport company “Atac” could not provide any information.
