Manu exageration?

[Cherry]

WTF?

24 hours later Manu did more tests (after the press conf) and Doctor say the swelling is down!... he exagerated the injury... his ankle is better compared with monday's results and will be fine...

Minutos después Diego Grippo pasaba por el hotel a buscar los estudios realizados en los Spurs. No conforme con eso, llevó a Manu al centro de estudios Dr. Enrique Rossi, en Arenales y Laprida, para efectuarle una tomografía y otra resonancia. A la media tarde, con los estudios en sus manos, convocó a un ateneo médico del que participaron Gonzalo Gómez (traumatólogo), Alejandro Rolón (especialista en diagnósticos por imágenes), Héctor Masaragian (especialista en pie) y el propio Grippo.

"Es un engrosamiento del ligamento calcáneo-peroneo posterior, ubicado por delante del tendón de Aquiles. Es un proceso crónico que afecta por fricción al resto de las partes blandas de la zona", señaló Grippo. El médico de la selección, también oriundo de Bahía Blanca, ex basquetbolista y amigo de Manu de hace años, aclaró: "Esta lesión no lo deja afuera de los Juegos. Sus chances siguen intactas. Están muy firmes".


sounds like Timvp was right



It sounds to me like Ginobili's rehab is right on course. Two and a half weeks after starting his rehab and it sounds like the swelling is down. Stretched ankle ligaments don't return to normal size overnight.

I don't think there is anything to worry about. I've never heard of even a minor ankle injury that completely heals in two and a half weeks. My guess is that about a month from now Ginobili will be healthy enough to play.

Can you give a brief translation? Thank you.

Can you give a brief translation? Thank you.

sorry, i'm really bad at that :(

but basically is what Timvp say yesterday: his rehab is right on course and will be ok.

Here's my translation:


Minutes later Diego Grippo passed by the hotel to get the tests made by the Spurs. Not happy with that, he then took Manu to Dr. Enrique Rossi diagnostic center, in Arenales and Laprida, for a CAT scan and a MRI. In the afternoon, with the results in his hands, he convened a medical team which included Gonzalo Gómez (orthopedist), Alejandro Rolón (imaging specialist), Héctor Masaragian (foot specialist) and Grippo himself.

"It's a thickening of the calcáneo-peroneo posterior (I can't translate that :dizzy) ligament, located before the aquilles heel. It's a chronic process which affects by friction the rest of the soft tissue in the area" Grippo stated. The national team doctor, also from Bahía Blanca, a former basketball player and longtime friend of Manu's, added: "This injury does not take Manu out of the Games. His chances are still intact. They are very solid."
Saludos.

[Pucho!!!]

So is this the medical opinion from the argentina team doctor or the Spurs team doctor?

[Extra Stout]

calcáneo-peroneo posterior (I can't translate that )

Calcaneo-fibular posterior

[xtremesteven33]

Manu has said already that the Olympics means more to him than the NBA.

he will play if he can

So is this the medical opinion from the argentina team doctor or the Spurs team doctor?

the spurs wanted him to wear a boot for 5 weeks.. the argie doctors said that was a "long term" kind of approach that they didn't agree with... the treatment was changed to 3 weeks and some anti inflammatory medicines and 0 physical activity...

[raspsa]

Even if the swelling subsides it's just not prudent to put the foot through the stresses of intensive competition so soon.. hope manu uses his head and not his heart.

Yeah, lancion.com is known for its razor-sharp credibility. In fact, journalism as a whole in South America is so on point now that I think of it.

In that case, I guess we'll REALLY know in three weeks. I'll wait for the San Antonio doctors.

And I hope Manu defies those doctors orders and puts on that plastic boot.
