It rains on wet to. The number one of the queen category, on its return to the competition after a black preseason plagued with injuries and visits to the operating room, was injured again after suffering a tough fall in the Qatar GP. The pilot of San Sebastián de los Reyes, 28, was diagnosed with a thoracic trauma and a pneumothorax, with six broken ribs, suffering a strong bruise on the ribs of the right side after the energetic revolution on the asphalt nine laps from the end. And was evacuated by helicopter to the hospital.
The Madrid made all the alarms jump when he was lying on the escape on the Lusil Night, unable to get up despite the help of doctors and commissioners for more than two minutes. At all times he was aware and Dr. Ángel Charte, medical head of the World Cup, discarded at first effects on the limbs, who came to the appointment due to the two serious accidents that occurred in the preseason. Martín was transferred by medicalized helicopter to the Hamad de Doha Hospital, capital of the Arabic country, to get in depth diagnostic tests and determine the definitive scope of the new injuries.
In the hospital, doctors detected in a computerized tomography the increase in pneumothorax, which will make necessary the use of aspiration drain. The pilot must remain under observation for several days at the Catarí hospital until the resolution of the episode, then being able to return to Spain, according to a first communication of Aprilia. A few hours later the team confirmed that, in the last exploration, the doctors observed “the fracture of six ribs from the right side in the posterior area, from one to six.”
Until things twisted this Sunday unexpectedly. Martín lost control of the Italian machine in a quick right -wing curve, when he left too long in the piano and lose control at high speed after the escape slightly stepped on. Lorely and fatigued throughout the weekend, product of its more than two months away from MotoGP prototypes, fatigue played a bad pass and did not allow it to complete its main objective, to finish the race. Now we need to see if the new setback can mean another season away from the slopes, with the next quote from the calendar, the GP of Spain, scheduled for the end of the month in Jerez.
one with the RS-GP25 and another training with a Supermotard in a Karting in Lleida in the previous one of the inaugural Grand Prix of the season in Thailand. That combination of tube postponed to the fourth appointment of the year his debut with the new factory and caused multiple fractures in the left foot and both hands, which ended with two visits to the operating room in less than 20 days. In total, Martín suffered a total of eight fractures in both claims.
The delicate lesion in the left hand – with a fracture of scanning, distal radio and pyramid bone of a cup – was the one that most worried the pilot and the doctors in this express return to the action. In a month and a half, Martín was able to consolidate the bone and recover much of the mobility and strength where other patients become a minimum of three months to recover some normality. Throughout his world -world career, the Madrid accumulates 18 bone fractures, a source of inspiration for his nickname, Martinator.
After the new costazo, in the first review in the layout, doctors could intuit possible fractures in some rib, although the first update from the hospital did not refer to them. Pneumothorax implies air entry into the pleural cavity, and according to the scope of lung perforation can be resolved even without treatment. In the most serious cases, surgery may require, while Martín will now receive a drain that is the intermediate solution.
The number one, which rolled seventeenth at the time of the expensive, received the visit of his parents and his partner in the medical center of the circuit before being transferred to the hospital, and in any case his condition does not have gravity.
