Surgeon of Napoliโ€™s Osimhen: โ€œI had to insert six plates and eighteen screws.โ€

The surgeon who operated on Victor Osimhenโ€™s cheekbone and eye orbit injury has revealed that he had to insert to six plates and 18 screws during the operation.

Gianpaolo Tartaro spoke to 1 Station Radio and he revealed some details about Osimhenโ€™s recovery and the operation. He stated:

โ€œOsimhen injury was not a simple cheekbone fracture but also affected several bones of the face. It was not a shock trauma, but compression: the kinetic force generated by the crushing of Osimhenโ€™s face against Skriniarโ€™s created devastating damage.

โ€œIt is still too early to talk about recovery times because the surgery was really complex: the conditions of the playerโ€™s face were very bad but I guarantee that the surgery was perfectly successful.โ€

Initial reports have suggested that Osimhen could be out for three months.
