Nadal odustao i od Cincinatija.

[Opojni zumbul]

Pa kakva je to povreda, ovoliko nije pauzirao ni 2009-te?

[Sasa_Beli]

Hi all, another message to announce something that definitely doesn't make me happy, but unfortunately I won't be competing at the tournament in Cincinnati next week. I am still not ready to play. I have many fans in Cincy and unforgettable moments such as 2008. I am continuing with my recup and practice. Thanks!

I heard from a reliable source that Nadal considering bagging the rest of the year. Not 100% obviously, but a possibility

Ne valja ovo nista.

Znajuci Nadala, on na teren nece dok nije bar 70% spreman. On je svoje za ovu godinu odradio, vratio sljaku i uzeo RG. I meni se cini da ce iskulirati do kraja godine, zasto bi se vracao na beton koji mu je najgori za kolena.

Nadal nece igrati ni na USO.

An injury has forced Rafael Nadal out of the U.S. Open.

The No. 3-ranked tennis player is battling a knee injury.

The tournament, which is the final major of the year, starts on Aug. 27.

"I am very sad to announce that I am still not ready to play and have to withdraw from this year's U.S.," Nadal said in a statement. "I am sorry since I always found great crowds and great support, but I have to continue with my recuperation and preparation to be ready to play in the right conditions."

Nadal earlier withdrew from the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati that starts this week. He also did not compete in the Olympics.

Nadal lost in the second round at Wimbledon and cited tendonitis when he withdrew from a charity match against World No. 2-ranked Novak Djokovic at Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium.

Steta, definitivno nije isto kad nema i njega u prici, nekako je narusen balans.

[Starsica]

Steta. Koliko god da me nervira njegov drama queen mod, fali na tour - u.

Nadal boluje od Hofa sindroma!

Izostanak španskog asa sa OI i US Opena ali i sve češće žalbe na bolove objašnjene ozbiljnim poremećajem u kolenu.


Nastavljaju se zdravstveni problemi Rafaela Nadala. Sjajni španski teniser je u obraćanju domaćim medijima objasnio sa kojim teškoćama se bori.

Naime, Nadal boluje od Hofa sindroma. Reč je o ozbiljnom poremećaju kolena kada se u zadnjem delu zgloba stvaraju masne naslage, koje pristiskaju tetive i meniskus i dolazi do preopterećenja kolena i jakih upala ligamenata.

Zbog ovog problema Španac je poražen na startu Vimbldona, iz istog razloga je propustio i Olimpijske Igre, masters turnire u Torontu i Sinsinatiju, a nedavno je najavio da neće učestvovati ni na US Openu.

"Sada mi je najvažnije da se oporavim, najmanje razmišljam o plasmanu na ATP listi", rekao je Nadal i nastavio:

"Moja karijera je u pitanju. Dugo se mučim s ovim problemom i vreme je da ga rešim".

Španski mediji prenose da se Hofa sindrom leči ili strogim višemesečnim mirovanjem ili operacijom, koja može da bude vrlo rizična.

Tim stručnjaka koji stoji iza Nadala smatrao je da je prva opcija, mirovanje, bolja po tenisera, ali očigledno je Španac ranije nego što je trebalo prekidao terapiju.

"Vratiću se na teren kada budem u stanju za to. Neću da žurim. Jako mi je teško što moram da propustim i US Open, jer sam uvek voleo da igram na ovom turniru. Ali, sada moram da mirujem i povratak na teren zavisi od stanja u kojem će biti moje povređeno desno koleno", kategoričan je bio Nadal koji nije siguran da li će biti spreman za polufinale Dejvis kupa koje se igra od 14. do 16. septembra.

Hoffa's Syndrome | Fat Pad Impingement Syndrome - A Cause of Anterior Knee Pain

Hoffa's Syndrome | Fat Pad Impingement Syndrome - A Cause of Anterior Knee Pain
BY DR CHANG HAW CHONG
What is Fat Pad Impingement?
Sometimes after a forceful direct impact to the kneecap, the fat pad can become impinged (pinched) between the distal thigh bone ( femoral condyle) and the kneecap (patella).

As the fat pad is one of the most sensitive structures in the knee, this condition is known to be extremely painful. The knee pain is situated anteriorly on either side of the lower kneecap and is worsened by straightening (extension) of the knee joint. Hence the fat pad comes under constant irritation and may become significantly inflamed.

It is also termed Hoffa’s Syndrome.

Where is the Fat Pad in the Knee?

Fat Pad of the Knee Joint
What Are the Symptoms of Fat Pad Impingement?
Pain and/or swelling around the bottom and under the kneecap
Patients may have a history of knee hyper-extension (called genu recurvatum)
Positive Hoffa’s test (with the patient in lying with their knee bent, the examiner presses both thumbs along either side of the patellar tendon, just below the patella. The patient is then asked to straighten their leg. Pain and/or apprehension of the patient is considered a positive sign for fat pad impingement)
Treatment of Fat Pad Impingement
Treatment of this condition is normally by conservative methods such as:

Rest and avoiding aggravating activities – stop running.
Ice or cryotherapy to reduce pain and inflammation.
Physiotherapy modalities such as ultrasound and TENS.
Muscle strengthening exercises to maintain the strength and fitness of the surrounding muscle groups
Taping the patella may help. One method involves taping the upper surface of the patella to allow more space for the structures beneath the lower surfaces i.e. the fat pad. This leads to less stress and impingement on the fat pad.
If conservative treatment does not work then surgery may be advised. This may involve the complete or partial removal of the fat pad itself.

Surgery for Fat Pad Impingment
This is done using key-hole arthroscopy surgery.

Two tiny holes on either side of the lower part of the kneecap allows the surgeon to visualise the problem using a camera system and a small motorised shaver to remove the impinging fat pad.

This is an example of a patient whom I treated recently. He experienced pain in the front of the knee for the past 3 to 4 months. The pain was brought on after running for about 10 minutes. He was able to complete his 1 hour run but would have pain and mild limp over the next 1 to 2 days. The problem worsened and he could no longer run for more than 10 minutes.

Clinical examination showed pain in the front of the knee at the level below and adjacent to the kneecap. The pain was made worse by straightening his knee.

Zbog ovog problema Španac je poražen na startu Vimbldona...
