• Cayetano Rivera, the savior of Roca Rey with a clean body: "He has two balls, he says that without a cape he arrives faster"

Cayetano Rivera has been operated in Santander of the dislocation fracture of the right wrist that occurred last Sunday in Socuéllamos and that, in the end, has been assessed with a greater severity than it initially seemed, according to the medical part of the clinic of Dr. Piñal and associates.

As revealed by the imaging tests of this Monday, August 7, "the severity of the injury is confirmed, which includes avulsion of the entire flying rim of the radius with the ligaments and a fragment of radial styloids." The X-rays provided on day 6 already showed the displacement of the fracture.

"

That same day [August 7] the under loco-regional anesthesia and sedation (Dr. Pérez/Dr. Buitrago) the dislocation is reduced by a flying approach. A DVR-type plate is installed with temporary fixation with Kirschner needles and arthroscopically the joint fragments of the scaphoid fossa and the crescent are reduced. The flying fragment containing the short radio-semilunar ligament is sutured with an arthroscopic stitch to the plate. The incision is closed by planes," according to the medical report.

The prospect is six weeks of immobilization with a splint, "with the idea of then starting rehabilitation."

Diego Urdiales will take one of the first substitutions left by Cayetano Rivera next Friday, August 11 in El Puerto de Santa María.
