It's been some time since UFC Issue 264, and Irish superstar Cannon Connor McGregor has successfully undergone surgery after breaking his leg, and the surgery was successful. Medical experts say that if the mouth cannon recovers well, it will be better than ever.
Mouth Cannon certainly does not want to retire or change careers, he has vowed to fight diamonds - Dustin, four times. Let's look at the mouth cannon surgery.
On the Sunday after the UFC's 264th race, Connor McGregor successfully underwent three hours of ankle surgery in the United States and was discharged from Cedar Sinai Hospital on the morning of his 33rd birthday.
His injuries were diagnosed with tibia and fibula fractures, and it looks like the infamous mouth cannon won't make a comeback anytime soon and will have to recuperate for a while.
Physical therapy specialist Andrew Headmaster Hall and fitness training specialist Joe Johnson both commented on the mouth cannon injury.
Hall, a medical expert on sports physical therapy, told reporters: "Connor was injured, tibia and fibula fractures, and rehabilitation depended largely on the course of surgery. We can see the details of the operation, where an intramedullary rod is inserted into the tibia and a metal plate is fixed to the fibula. I can imagine a recovery period of about four to six months, remember, the peak recovery time for tibia injuries is important, I recommend about three months to exercise again, of course he can do the way with the tibia kick. ”
However, physical fitness expert Johnson believes McGregor's recovery will take a long time. "The recovery process will be somehow determined by his rehabilitating doctor, surgeon and Milton Little, which includes six weeks of Connor on crutches, and he is likely to bear the weight according to how much pain is allowed," he said. My advice is about adjusting the rhythm and range of motion of the movement. ”
"He needs to take the time to recover and make sure everything is back to training properly, and we can see that McGregor will come back and be better than ever, of course, the premise is adequate rest and exercise, not blindly and in a hurry, otherwise his tibia may fracture again or have other minor injuries."
The picture above is the first post-operation photo of the mouth cannon Connor posted, and the doctor is examining it. The mouth cannon looks more serious. You know, the mouth cannon is 33 years old.
Although mouth cannons can enter the field of boxing, they can even play at WWE for a while. McGregor specializes in MMA mixed martial arts and has to fight Diamond four times. So will the mouth cannon really be better than before?
"According to 2016 statistics, 92% of athletes return to the sports field after a tibia fracture, which is better than other non-surgical intervention treatments, or more than 67% of non-surgical personnel if expressed numerically, so his surgery is a good start." Hall continued.
"But it all depends on how Connor makes the comeback plan." If he trains with a lot of intensity soon, then it is likely that he will continue to be injured. But if he and his team take the time to recover, then in the long run, there shouldn't be that much of an impact. ”
This is the attitude of physical therapists and physical fitness specialists, and in general, there is a great hope for a comeback. But whether it can be better than before depends on the recovery progress and training intensity of the mouth cannon itself. This is by no means an easy task, at least 1 year to recover and train.
