Jordan Henderson Breaks Wrist, Misses Rest of World Cup worldcup england jordanhenderson [BTebKNXGD9m]
Jordan Henderson will miss the rest of the World Cup after suffering a severe wrist fracture during the team's post-match celebrations at Azteca Stadium. Because the fracture is severe enough to require surgery, this likely means the bone is displaced and/ or unstable making surgical fixation necessary. Most commonly, surgeons use a plate and screws or pins to realign and stabilize the fracture while it heals. From a PT perspective, the initial focus will be on protecting the repair, controlling swelling, and maintaining finger, elbow, and shoulder mobility while the wrist heals. Once the bone shows signs of healing, rehabilitation progresses to restoring wrist range of motion, grip strength, and functional use of the hand. Timeline to recovery can be 8-12 assuming the surgery and bone healing go as planned without complications. The good news is that most athletes make a full recovery after surgical fixation of a wrist fracture, but unfortunately, Henderson's World Cup is over. #jordanhenderson #worldcup #englandfootball #brentfordfc #england
