The surgery for the ligament injury of defender Ho Tan Tai at Van Hanh Hospital (HCMC) on the morning of January 14th lasted about 1 hour and was a great success. Tan Tai was directly operated on by an experienced team including Dr. Pham Quoc Hung and Associate Professor, Dr. Le Duc Lanh.
Among them, Dr. Pham Quoc Hung is an experienced person, having performed surgery on many Vietnamese players such as Do Hung Dung, Chau Doan Phat, and Nguyen Minh Tri (Vietnam futsal team).
“Tai’s ligament was completely torn, and his lateral meniscus was torn. Fortunately, his posterior lateral corner was not affected. That is the most complicated part to handle, which can easily cause players to have loose knees and pain. The medial meniscus and other parts are fine.
Another thing is that Tai's body is also strong so he will recover quickly. I think in about 6 months Tai will be able to practice with the ball again, and in 9 months he will be able to return to the field to compete," Dr. Pham Quoc Hung shared.
According to Lao Dong's source, Ho Tan Tai will be monitored at the hospital for 4 days before starting rehabilitation training at the center of Vietnam team doctor Tran Huy Tho.
