10 - Ansu Fati

[Jaguar]

Some specialists have told Ansu Fati that the doctor who performed surgery on his knee did not properly suture the meniscus.

I am 95% sure that is complete horse manure but on the slim chance that's true and the doctor did a half job I'm actually frikin done and wouldn't be surprised if they were paid by Real Madrid to purposely mess up Ansu Fati's leg surgery and massively affect the career of arguably the highest rated young player in the world right now.

Yes Real Madrid are paying doctors to botch surgeries. Are they also the reason behind Messi missing key penalties and Pep falling out with Eto'o?

Without a doubt. They paid fans to shine a torch in Messi's eye on all the penalties he's missed and put something in Guardiola's coffee to make him accept Eto'o+40m/Ibrahimovic swap deal

Latest news looking Grim

🚨🚨🚨[ @moillorens🥇] | Tomorrow will be a KEY day for Ansu Fati and his knee problem. Important decisions will be made.

In early March, Ansu Fati's knee became infected. A third surgery was proposed then, but was stalled pending his evolution. One of the reasons was that the staff did not want to take such an important decision when there was no president in charge.

Ansu Fati has visited two European specialists, and they both recommend him to undergo surgery again and remove part of the meniscus from his knee. [cadena ser]

Would be pretty weird rumours to be making up. Not that that's impossible of course.

.@fansjavimiguel: "The easy solution for Ansu Fati's knee problem is removing his meniscus entirely. But at 18 years old, it is extremely risky. He could end up having a degenerative knee problem like Umtiti. If he gets another surgery, the season is over for him."

My golden boy

Let him have the surgery but don't remove a thing or they'll have to deal with me

 

[Messigician]

Two consultants have advised Ansu Fati to undergo surgery again and remove his meniscus.

There is a direct relationship between the amount of meniscus tissue that is surgically removed and the load distribution across the knee. If more tissue is removed, the knee is less able to sustain the load of walking, running, or other activities. With uneven load distribution, degeneration of the knee joint may happen at a fast pace.

Can someone tell me why the fuck meniscus removal is even a fucking option? It literally looks the equivalent of injecting yourself with a painkiller that will work for a few hours before killing you overnight.

This shit should be outlawed dawgs killed Umtiti's career and now potentially Fati's wake the fuck up Barca medical team.

The idiots probably made it worse. Meniscus tear is a common injury among athletes. They should have just removed the damaged part right away. Now probably the infection has spread and affected more of the cartilage, and they will have to cut a bigger portion or even remove the whole thing .

If this is true, then it is time to start party away from Dr. Cugat

Time to party you say?

You are so fucking fickle. I am pretty sure you were all high on taking the "safest" long term option back in November - like pretty much all of us. Maybe take a step back, contain your anger and accept that you can make no mistake and still lose - especially in medicine. No need to throw a tantrum and call people idiots with basically nothing to back it up.

No wonder social media sucks.

 

[Messi983]

Time to call United if they still want to pay 150m for him I guess.


Anyway, whatever they'll decide to do I hope they won't rush him back. I'm ok with him not playing this season anymore if this is the best for him longterm. Also shouldn't play in Euro.

Doctors have to pay for incompetence just like in any profession. They just went with a treatment option that backfired and could affect this kid's future and career.

@FCBarca seemed knowledgeable about the situation. Any ideas what could go wrong based on the sparse information available in the media?

I am not privy to the details of Ansu's case specifics but that is really the point, none of us are. No two cases are exactly the same and there is as much art as there is science to medicine - surgeries can also have scenarios where you have to 'go back in' to redo a repair if the healing does not happen as planned, especially in injuries concerning cartilage repair. With meniscus tears and repair, there is the added issue of it acting as the anchor in the knee joint as the medial aspect. Many scenarios are possible, either suture is not holding as intended, a new tear elsewhere in the meniscus or repair/scaffolding is not progressing as hoped

The reason why there is conflicting info/reports is not unlike the previous leaks, someone is sharing the info to media and it is being interpreted differently due to not having all the facts. What we do know is that the last time there was a rumour about a setback, it was proven to be the case so I suspect that is indeed the case here. The extent? Without details, impossible to speculate.

All that is apparently clear is that there is a setback which is obviously disappointing, it is not career threatening but at the same time how to respond to it will influence his recovery and long-term knee rehabilitation. If there are additional consults, then likely there are many options on the table and player wants to be sure of best approach to addressing the setback which is what any person would do much less a professional athlete. I think it is simply bad luck or unfortunate but not viewing it worse than that, these things happen in surgeries and no surgeon is 100% infallible, sometimes perfection cannot be assured everytime you perform surgery. That doesn't translate to Cugat or any surgeon having failed but par for the course in repairs - we're just not accustomed to setbacks where Cugat is involved

This season is done anyway for him, what is important is for him to not suffer long term damage from this. If they are talking about removing the whole meniscus because of that supposed infection, it's bad long-term.

He's 18, not 25. And at Barca, you play about 50+ games a season.
