A when it comes to analyzing the Pedri injury It is important to clarify two fundamental details. On the one hand, injuries to ligaments with a cord structure are commonly considered more serious. In them the ligament continuityleaving its ends separated, which makes it difficult and in many cases prevents the cicatrization. We would be talking about ligaments such as anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments and the external lateral ligament.
On the other hand, injuries to ligaments with a ribbon structure, such as the internal lateral ligament that has been affected in Pedri’s left kneein general terms they are less serious because they do not lose the continuity of the ligament fibers, but these are disjointed. Only in the highest grades of these injuries is their treatment of a greater magnitude and, consequently, your recovery is slower.
Internal lateral ligament injuries They do not cease to be important because in its middle third it is attached to the medial meniscus and the integrity of the meniscus-ligamentous union must be carefully checked. Generally in grade 2 cases, such as the one we are dealing with with the brilliant Spanish midfielder, the treatment is currently orthopedic and between four and six weeks of functional immobilization would be enough for the injury to heal and knee stability get back to normal.
When we were all focused on the right knee of Pedrion which the left leg of Kroos in the action that caused the injury, was, however, the left knee which was finally affected after the spectacular lack of the former German player. Pedri He was very sore from the first moment after the fall and finally could not continue. An action that is a good example to take into account in knee injuries, where generally the most spectacular traumas produce less important injurieswhile the mechanisms in which a poor support with sudden twisting They are most feared by doctors. Pedri say goodbye to Euro Cup (there is one week left counting the final), but fortunately the injury has an excellent prognosis for the future.
