25-year-old Egan Bernal is advancing in the recovery of the systems involved in his polytrauma (musculoskeletal, respiratory, hemodynamic and neurological systems).
The result of the surgery
After some diagnostic images, it was decided that the Ineos team rider should undergo surgery to promote his rehabilitation.
The surgery began after one in the afternoon and the doctors indicated that everything was a success.
“The objectives of biomechanical stability of the cervical spine were achieved with excellent clinical results, without complications during surgery,” the clinic said in a statement.
Bernal crashed into a bus, which had parked on the side of the road to drop off a passenger.
The rider was doing his training on the bike against the clock with five other teammates, he did not realize the fact and crashed into the rear.
Since the day of the event, Bernal has been fighting to recover in the best possible way, helped by the doctors at the clinic who accompany him daily in this complicated process.
“Bernal left the surgery room extubated and directly to the Intensive Care Unit for surveillance. The runner woke up without problems,” a source told EL TIEMPO.
“We will continue to monitor his post-operative evolution, working
to achieve the best clinical outcomes and prompt recovery of our
patient, through interdisciplinary and humanized care,” he said.
That day of the accident, the runner underwent surgery for the fracture of the femur and the right patella and at night he was operated on to stabilize the fracture of the spine with plates, due to the fracture of two thoracic vertebrae.
Last Friday he returned to the operating room. On that occasion an osteosynthesis of a fracture of the second metacarpal of the right hand and a maxillofacial procedure were performed to stabilize the dentoalveolar fractures that he presented in his mouth.
