18 Screws And Six Plaques Used In Facial Operation For Osimhen – Surgeon

November 25, 2021

Surgeon Gianpaolo Tartaro has detailed the facial operation performed on Super Eagles Victor Osimhen.

Gatekeepers News reports that Tartaro said eighteen screws and six plaques were used during Osimhen’s facial operation.

Last weekend, the Napoli striker was involved in an accidental clash of heads with Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar at Napoli, and this has left Osimhen with serious damage to his face.

“Osimhen’s injury was not just a simple fracture to the cheekbone, as it involved many other bones in his face,” explained Tartaro to 1 Stadion Radio.

The surgeon added that “It wasn’t an impact injury, it was one of compression. The kinetic force generated by the crushing of Osimhen’s face against the back of Skriniar’s head did devastating damage.

“In order to repair the fractures, I had to insert six plaques and up to 18 screws.”

Gatekeepers News earlier reported that the Super Eagles the striker will miss the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon next year.

Although Osimhen’s surgeon gave 90 days for his full recovery, he warned that it is still too early to tell the full effects of this injury.

He said, “It really was a complex operation. The condition of his face was really bad, but I can guarantee the surgery was a complete success.”
