How’s Jarred Vanderbilt’s knee?

The wing of Los Angeles Lakers, Jarred Vanderbilthas not yet taken to the field this season, as she has just recently undergone 2 clinical treatments (we talked about it HERE) which she underwent last summer. The yellow-purple medical staff recently released a update on the state of health of the former Minnesota Timberwolves, which states that, after undergoing further tests, partition have reported synovial fluid in the knee. The report also states that Jarred Vanderbilt’s return to the court is expected in early January.

A fluid spill occurs when swelling and inflammation occurs in an anatomical part, such as the knee in Vanderbilt’s case, due to the presence of a fluid, called synovial fluid. Its function is to facilitate and fluidize the movement of the joint, especially in cases of overwork, inflammation or other problems (even more serious ones). Lakers fans can still breathe a sigh of relief: similar problems can quite frequently afflict athletes who come from prolonged stops. Especially during the period of ramping-up-activitieswhich precedes the return to the field and which allows athletes to return to the fitness levels required by the NBA, the risk of incurring similar injuries increases considerably. During this phase, the onset of other physical problems in different anatomical areas is also likely – for example inflammation, as in the case of partitionor muscle fatigue.

Analyzing Jarred Vanderbilt’s situation in depth, we can see that he has suffered 2 consecutive problems with his foot, i.e. the part of the body that directly hits the ground during landing. Furthermore, the feet absorb the force of the impact, transferring some of it to the shins and knees. In the case of a return to physical activity at a high level and pace, after a prolonged period of rest, it is likely to encounter irritation and inflammation, precisely because both the feet and the rest of the legs are getting used to their “old” task again and at the required pace. The main aspect is to understand what the cause of swelling and inflammation is: the nature can be varied, from the high pace to the athlete’s movements, ending with some further persistent problem within the joint. For example, another member of the coach-trained roster JJ Redickthat is to say Gabe Vincenthas recently suffered from frequent swelling and inflammation of the knee. In his case, all this was due to the presence of foreign tissue floating in the joint – for example cartilage or meniscus fragments – which often forced him to have to give package during last season.

As for Jarred Vanderbilt, it will be essential to understand the nature of swelling and inflammation to allow treatment and be able to gradually return to the recovery period. ramping-up-activities. This issue is clearly a setback on the roadmap partition regarding his return to the field, but it is certainly not something unexpected or unpredictable. Nor is it a problem that would leave the medical staff or the yellow-purple fans in suspense.
