That could make a massive difference when it comes to his recovery, according to UPenn’s Dr. Lou Soslowsky. 根據 Dr. Lou Soslowsky(以下簡稱 Dr. Lou)的說法，JT這次的手術在受傷之後的隔天早 上執行，即便在運動員之間也是非常罕有的(備註：有看到黃金24小時的說法，以及48與72 小時的分界點)。 Dr. Lou Soslowsky，Penn Center for Musculoskeletal Disorders的創始董事與Perel- man School of Medicine的系主任。 No NBA athlete wants to rupture their Achilles tendon. But Jayson Tatum is in a much better position than most to fully recover from this traumatic injury. 沒有任何NBA運動員希望跟腱斷裂。但Tatum處於一個比大多數人更有希望能從這種嚴重傷 勢中完全恢復的情況。 That’s because the 27-year-old Celtics superstar, who ruptured his Achilles in the fourth quarter of Monday’s Game 4 against the Knicks in New York City, underwent a successful surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) just hours after the injury occurred. According to multiple sources, the surgery was performed by one of the world’s leading Achilles tendon surgeons, Dr. Martin O’Malley, who also operated on Kevin Durant after he ruptured his Achilles. 這是因為這位27歲的賽爾提克超級巨星在紐約對陣尼克的第四場比賽第四節中遭遇跟腱斷 裂後，僅僅幾個小時內便在特種外科醫院（HSS）接受了成功的手術。據多方消息稱，手術 由世界頂級跟腱專家之一的Dr. Martin O’Malley主刀，他也曾為KD和Tiger Woods進行過 類似的跟腱修復手術。 To better understand this injury, CelticsBlog spoke with Dr. Lou Soslowsky, the founding director of the Penn Achilles Tendinopathy Center of Research Translation, an NIH-funded center created to specifically research Achilles tendon injuries and develop new treatments. 為了更了解這種傷病，CelticsBlog 採訪了Dr. Lou，關於Dr. Lou的資訊前面有提到過了 ，這邊省略。 In addition to being a renowned expert in this field, Dr. Soslowsky also has first-hand experience with this injury — he tore his own Achilles tendon playing volleyball and returned to play just 7 months later. 除了是這個領域的專家之外，Dr. Lou也有親身經歷——他在打排球時撕裂了自己的跟腱， 並在7個月後重返賽場。 And, he finds the fact that Jayson Tatum is 27 years old and able to get his Achilles repaired the morning after the injury to be hugely encouraging — and pretty unprecedented. 他表示，Tatum年僅27歲，並且能在受傷後第二天早上就接受手術，這一事實極大地令人 鼓舞，而且幾乎是史無前例的。 The number one thing that Dr. Soslowsky finds most encouraging about Tatum’s situation is that he was able to get operated on so quickly. Dr. Lou認為，在Tatum的情景中最令人欣喜的一點就是他能如此迅速地接受手術。 “That is really atypical — even for a professional athlete or a high-profile individual — that is atypical,”Soslowsky said. "So that is really wonderful." 「這種情況非常不尋常——即使對於職業運動員或知名人士來說，也是非常不尋常的，」 Dr. Lou說。 “所以這是非常棒的。” You might expect all NBA players to have endless resources at their disposal, and therefore be able to get an Achilles rupture repaired on a 12-hour turnaround. But, that’s not typically the case. 你可能會以為所有NBA球員都能動用無限資源，因此都能在12小時內完成阿基里斯腱修復 。但事實通常並非如此。 For context, Damian Lillard ruptured his Achilles on April 27 and underwent surgery on May 2nd. DeMarcus Cousins tore his on a Saturday night and had the surgery on Wednesday. Wesley Mathews tore his Achilles on a Thursday, and had the surgery six days later. Rudy Gay also had to wait five days. 例如，Lillard在4月27日跟腱斷裂，直到5月2日才接受手術。Cousins是在周六晚上受傷， 週三才進行手術。Wesley Mathews週四受傷，六天后才手術。Rudy Gay也等了五天。 Even Kevin Durant, who often serves as the poster child for what a successful recovery can look like, tore his Achilles on a Monday night and had the surgery performed on Wednesday. 即便是KD，這位經常被視為跟腱傷勢成功恢復代表的球員，也是周一晚上受傷，週三才接 受手術。(看起來是第二好的，24-48小時內手術?) Though these were all high-profile NBA players, it always takes time to put everything together to make the surgery possible, Soslowsky explained. “Fifty percent of their time, they’re not in their home city, and the choice of which surgeon you’re going to have perform that operation is a conversation between the athlete, the agent, maybe the team, ownership, maybe colleagues or friends of the athlete,” he said. “And once those conversations happen, those conversations take a little bit of time. They don ’t happen within the first half hour, right? They begin then, and then, once you settle on the surgeon, depending on what city that surgeon is in, it’s often not in the city that you’re in. So, there’s some time involved there. And then that surgeon may have a clinic day that day, and they may not have an operating day until the next day or two days later.” 儘管這些都是知名NBA球員，Dr. Lou解釋說，安排手術總需要時間協調各方。 「他們一半時間不在自己的主場城市，而且選擇哪個醫生來進行手術，通常需要運動員、 經紀人、球隊、老闆，甚至運動員的朋友或同事之間的討論，」他說。 「而這些討論需 要一些時間。這不是半小時內就能敲定的，對吧？開始討論，然後終於確定了醫生，還得 看那位醫生在哪個城市，通常不在你所在的城市。所以這也需要時間。再加上，醫生可能 當天有門診，手術排期可能要到第二天或再往後。」 Almost miraculously, Tatum just so happened to already be in New York City, where the Celtics faced the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. And, Dr. O’ Malley was available. That reality, coupled with the fact that Tatum is so young — most NBA players who have suffered this injury have been at least 30 years old — puts him in uncharted territory. It also means that the somewhat discouraging data that currently exists regarding players’ decline upon return from an Achilles rupture might not necessarily be applicable in Tatum’s case. 有如奇蹟般，Tatum正好在紐約，賽爾提克正是在麥迪遜廣場花園與尼克交手。而O'Malley 醫生當時剛好有空。 這一現實，再加上Tatum的年齡——大多數遭遇此傷的NBA球員至少30歲以上——讓他處於 前所未有的有利位置。這也意味著，目前關於跟腱斷裂後球員狀態下滑的數據，可能並不 適用於Tatum。 “There’s not a lot of data on recovery from Achilles tear for a 27-year-old at 12 hours post-tear, right?” said Dr. Soslowsky. “There’s no data, really, out there.” Surgeons universally recommend operative Achilles tendon repair as soon as possible to restore functionality and reduce the risk of re-rupture. But, regular people have to wait days, if not weeks, to go through all the hoops and hurdles of getting a surgery on the books. 「我們幾乎沒有關於27歲球員在受傷後12小時內接受手術的恢復數據，對吧？」Dr. Lou 說。 “實際上，根本沒有這種數據。” 外科醫生普遍建議儘早進行手術修復，以恢復功能並減少再次斷裂的風險。但一般人通常 要等上數天，甚至數週，才能排上手術。 “You’re going to get infiltration of biologic agents and cells that will create the beginnings of scar formation,” Soslowsky said. “Because this repair was within a day, those processes had only just begun, and with a surgical pair, the torn ends were put right back together before a lot of these adverse biologic effects occurred. And so the opportunity for a faster recovery really is present.” 「如果等太久，生物反應和細胞浸潤會導致瘢痕組織的形成開始，」Dr. Lou說。“因為這 次是在一天內完成修復，這些過程才剛剛開始，通過手術將斷裂端重新縫合在一起，避免 了許多不良的生物反應。因此，他確實有更快康復的機會。” (我的理解是一段時間後你的身體會開始自己嘗試復原，然後復原的超醜一堆亂七八糟的組 織堆在斷裂處，導致就算後面手術接起來也不是原本完美的跟腱了。所以越早接起來越好) Dr. Soslowsky said that the return to injury spans from anywhere between 7 months to a year and a half, and it’s nearly impossible at this point to determine which of those scenarios is most realistic. In a few months, Tatum and the Celtics will be able to assess where he’s at in his recovery and determine whether he’s in a position to make a push to return next season. Dr. Lou表示，傷後恢復的時間範圍大致在7個月到一年半之間，目前幾乎不可能確定哪種 情況比較現實。再過幾個月，Tatum和賽爾提克將能夠評估他的恢復情況，並決定是否為下 個賽季復出做準備。 “At some point in some months, we’ll get a much better idea of whether they ’re going to try and get back next season or not,” he said. “If you want to be conservative, one would say, well, it’s probably a 12-month rehab anyway. Therefore, let’s let him sit out and give him the best shot during the following season. On the other hand, if in a handful of months he’s doing well, then there’ll be the push and pull to say, we can get him back next season.” 「在未來的幾個月內，我們將能更好地了解他們是否會嘗試讓他在下個賽季復出，」他說 。 「如果要保守一些，人們可能會說，反正也是大約12個月的康復期，不如讓他徹底休 息，爭取在下下賽季完全恢復。但另一方面，如果他幾個月後恢復良好，那就會有推動他 提前復出的聲音。” ESPN’s Marc Spears reported that Jayson Tatum’s father, Justin Tatum, expects his son to return to the floor in 8-9 months — which means there’s hope he would be available to lace up in February. But the Celtics offered no official recovery. “I think the likelihood of coming back next season is pretty low, honestly, ” Soslowsky said. “But in some ways that might be just as well, because we have seen when people do come back early, there certainly is a risk of relapsing. That would be catastrophic, that would be awful. And so that’s not something that one would want to risk. On the other hand, we’ll know in a few months how he’s progressing.” ESPN記者Mark Spears報導稱，Tatum的父親Justin Tatum預計他的兒子將在8到9個月後重 返賽場——也就是說，他有望在明年2月左右復出。不過，賽爾提克並沒有給出官方的恢復 時間表。 「說實話，我認為他下個賽季復出的可能性相當低，」Dr. Lou說。 「但在某種程度上， 這或許也是好事，因為我們看到有人過早復出時，確實存在復發的風險。這將是災難性的 ，非常糟糕。所以這是大家都不願意冒的風險。另一方面，我們幾個月後會知道他的恢復 進展如何。” Even after Tatum’s Achilles is fully recovered, he’ll have to undergo a substantial ramp-up period before he’s able to return to NBA basketball. “One of the difficulties of Achilles tendon tear is that it’s difficult to remain to keep your cardiovascular levels high with an Achilles injury,” Soslowsky said. “Because you’re not running, you’re not riding a bike, you ’re not doing anything for many months, and so even after the tear is healed, there’ll be some time before he’s ready to play at the level that he ’s capable of playing.” 即便Tatum的阿基里斯腱完全恢復，他在重新參加NBA比賽前，還需要經歷相當長時間的 恢復期。 「阿基里斯腱斷裂的一個困難在於，你在康復期間很難保持良好的心肺功能，」Dr. Lou說 。 「因為你不能跑步、騎車，很多運動幾個月都做不了。所以即使傷口癒合，也還需要一 段時間，才能恢復到他應有的競技狀態。” But, in many ways, Tatum is in a pretty unprecedented situation. And the way things played out in the aftermath of the rupture could prove highly beneficial. “The fact that he did choose a surgeon — and there was availability to operate on him so quickly — gives him an excellent shot at an earlier-than-average, high-level athlete return.” 但在很多方面，Tatum的情況確實很少見。而他受傷後迅速接受手術的過程，可能會帶來 巨大益處。 “他能夠迅速選擇一位醫生，並且馬上安排手術，這給了他比平均水平更高的、提早回歸 高水平競技的極大機會。” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 做手術的地方是HSS Brooklyn，籃網的訓練中心樓上，距離尼克主場8公里。 看起來Tatum是在最壞的情況中抽到上上籤，希望未來他能成為阿基里斯斷裂恢復的範本? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 125.224.95.100 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1747408753.A.EE4.html ※ 編輯: Muma5566 (49.215.224.202 臺灣), 05/16/2025 23:20:34
