Of Mustafa Traore at Medhi Chahiri, he operated on dozens and dozens of SM Caen players. The doctor Bertrand galaud is the orthopedic surgeon who has been taking care of repairing most of the Weedbugs injured for more than 15 years. This season he has a lot more work to do than usual.
This is the first season like this. There are seasons when we haven’t had a player. I remember that four or five years ago, I even spent two seasons without seeing a single player … and there it comes back.
Cruciate ligament rupturesHugo vandermersch and of Kelian NSona, the damaged menisci of Benjamin Jeannot (twice) and Franklin wadja, the displaced fracture of the malleolus of Mehdi Chahiri, as many injuries that Dr. Galaud hastened to operate. This season, there is hardly that of Yoann Court adductors that have not been taken care of by the Caen practitioner of the Polyclinique du Parc.
“I learned that I should operate on Mehdi Chahiri while watching TV”
On December 4, in Auxerre, the Caen striker Mehdi Chahiri suffered a serious injury after a tackle from Théo Pellenard: dislocation of the ankle coupled with a fracture of the malleolus. Less than twelve hours later, he was operated on by Dr Galaud in Caen.
“I was watching the match on TV and I immediately saw his reaction and the image of the ankle that he would have to operate on. He was taken care of by the Auxerre hospital where his The fracture was reduced, so that he could travel peacefully. Afterwards, we coordinated the repatriation with the medical team and physiotherapists on site. We scheduled the operation to take place overnight. prepared the team within the polyclinic of the Park. I was communicated as quickly as possible to the radios. It arrived at midnight. The time to prepare everything, we made incisions around 1:10 and the intervention lasted an hour, this which is a classic intervention period on this type of injury “.
The first question we ask the Caen surgeon as soon as we meet him when he is injured is always the same: “When will I be able to replay?” Mehdi Chahiri was no exception. “I told him it smelled like the end of the season. Indeed, I do not think he will come back before that deadline. This type of injury is three to six months before it comes back. ”
Since 2004, the SM Caen sends injured players to Dr Galaud. No contract binds the practitioner to the Norman club, just a tacit agreement. “I am a mechanic and I try to do Formula 1, and taking care of Stade Malherbe means doing F1“. Over the years, he has established contacts with Caen players. Benjamin Nivet and Nicolas Seube in particular, at the friendly level. He also has a large collection of shirts, because it is customary to offer him one. dedicated in memory of the passage on the billiard table. It is his “excess fees“to him.
