Brazil’s Neymar left the World Cup in tears and pain due to a fractured lumbar vertebra, causing millions of fans to sigh. We can see from the live video that the part where Neymar was hit by the opposing defender Zuniga’s knee and the part where he was in pain (covered by his hand after falling to the ground) are in line with the diagnosis of “lumbar 3 transverse process fracture” as revealed by the media. Although a transverse process fracture is also a spinal fracture, it should be called a “benign fracture” because it does not affect the overall stability of the spine, does not affect neurological function, does not require surgical treatment, and can be completely healed. However, the level of pain caused by the transverse process fracture is so severe that his activities will be severely limited in the short term (3-6 weeks). As for that picture provided by Brazilian TV, I think it is not an image of Neymar’s own lumbar spine, but an accompanying picture used by the media to match its report for the following reasons: 1. The report says it is an X-ray, but the picture shows it is a CT scan; 2. The picture shows a significant hardening of the fracture end (the white part indicated by the arrow), suggesting that it is an old fracture, not 3, the fracture site shown in the picture is the arch of the vertebrae, which often occurs when the lumbar vertebrae are hyperextended and broken by indirect violence, but the state of Neymar’s injury is caused by the direct impact of the knee in the forward flexion of the lumbar vertebrae, which is consistent with the mechanism of injury of transverse process fracture; 4, the part of the picture indicated by the arrow is the 5th lumbar vertebra, while the injury site of Neymar is the 3rd lumbar vertebra 5, the last point, is also very important: in Western countries, the patient’s condition, especially imaging data, etc., belongs to the absolute privacy of individuals, the disclosure of such information is a clear violation of the law, is the Brazilian television station also so bottomless?
