Napoli's doctor: "Good chance hip will heal" http://t.co/e9qQS57z According to his doctor, Mike Napoli's hip condition was caught at the perfect time. 根据Mike Napoli的医生表示，Napoli的病发现的正是时候。 Dr. Joseph Lane of the Hospital for Special Surgery has been treating Napoli this offseason, and he said on Friday that Napoli's hip injury -- avascular necrosis, or AVN -- has been caught early enough to prevent it from worsening over time. 隶属Hospital for Special Surgery的Dr. Joseph Lane在这段休赛期间为Napoli进行治 疗，而他表示幸好够早发现Napoli的病─股骨头缺血性坏死(以下简称AVN)，因此能避免 AVN恶化。 In Napoli's case, AVN consists of a loss of blood supply to the top of his hips, Lane said. If unrecognized or untreated, the inadequate blood supply would lead to degeneration in the bone to the point of collapse; in essence, the spherical head of the femur will no longer match the curve in the hip's socket. Because the problem was discovered during his physical with the Red Sox in December, Napoli should be able to avoid that worst-case scenario. 就Napoli的例子来说，AVN带来的结果是股骨上端的血液补给不足。如果没有发现AVN或是 没有给予治疗的话，未来将会造成骨骼退化，甚至会塌陷。就本质上来说，就是股骨上端 的球状表面再也无法和髋骨的窝楔合。幸好红袜在12月的体检中就发现问题，Napoli应该 能避免掉最糟的情形。 "The earlier you know it, the better the chance to prevent regression and in some cases actually heal the process," Lane said. "If you do it late, it's just a matter of when will the hip fail. But [Napoli] doesn't have that. It was caught, it appears, when his hip was absolutely perfectly round." Lane表示：「越早发现就越有机会避免退化，过去甚至有一些完全康复的例子。如果太晚 发现，髋部完蛋就只是时间长短的问题而已。不过Napoli没有这个问题，红袜在他的关节 还是圆球状的时候就抓到了这个问题。」 Lane said that, with changes in his treatment, his training and his defensive position, Napoli "has a very good chance that that hip will heal and he'll go on to a long productive career." Lane也说到只要藉着治疗、训练和防守位置的改变，「他的髋部有很大的机会能完全康复 ，并能拥有又长、贡献又多的生涯。」 AVN is caused by any number of things, Lane said, from certain drugs to alcohol use and right down to genetics. While "steroids" are often credited with causing the problem, that refers mainly to anti-inflammatory steroids, such as cortisone, that are, in Lane's words, "used ubiquitously in the sports medicine world." It does not mean the anabolic steroids that fall under the umbrella of performance-enhancing drugs. Lane表示AVN的成因有很多种，例如特殊药物、酒精或是基因问题。虽然我们常常会说 「类固醇」是造成问题的主要原因，但这通常是消炎类固醇─如可体松(Cortisone)─ 是运动界无所不在的药物。「类固醇」不等於合成类固醇(同化激素)─也就是提升运动能 力的那些禁药。 Although the cause of Napoli's condition isn't clear, Lane said that's true in about 40 percent of cases. Not knowing the exact cause can slow down the formation of a successful strategy of prevention, meaning Napoli will have to be careful with, say, cortisone shots during the course of the season. Lane表示大概有四成左右的状况是上述情形。但Napoli得到AVN的原因仍不清楚，在没完 全掌握原因的情况下会减慢找寻正确预防方式的时间。也就是说未来Napoli在球季中必须 小心─例如注射可体松。 Napoli, though, is taking medication for the hip now, and Lane said moving from behind the plate to first base should ease the stress placed on his hips. 不过Napoli已经开始接受药物治疗了，而且能藉着移防一垒减轻对於髋部的压力。 "Now that they know they have this problem, he's on drugs that will protect his hip, and in the course of time he will ultimately reestablish a blood supply there," Lane said. "They're going to make him into a first baseman. They're aware they're going to protect this person's hip until he goes through a healing phase. And he will go through a healing phase." 「现在他们都明白这个问题，所以开始藉由药物保护髋部。过了一段时日之後血液补给 会完全恢复。红袜会让他成为一垒手，并让他在康复前会好好保护他的髋部。然後他就会 康复了。」Lane说道。 At the very least, the medication should postpone any degeneration in the hip. 最起码，药物治疗能中止髋部的退化。 "If you catch it early, a number of these will spontaneously heal. Also, the earlier you pick it, we now have drugs or tricks to treat this so that you can essentially heal this completely or slow it down so there is no collapse," said Lane. "As long as there is no collapse in the ball, then the patient can function quite well." Lane：「如果你即早发现，很多地方会自己好；我们也能用一些治疗手段来复原(或是减 缓)病症并避免骨骼塌陷。只要球状区没有塌陷，关节的运作就会很不错。」 Napoli's situation is different from that of Bo Jackson, Lane said, because Jackson actually suffered a collapse of the bone in his hip. The two-sport star eventually needed a hip replacement; even after that, he did briefly return to play in the major leagues. Lane还表示Napoli的状况跟Bo Jackson不同，因为Jackson的骨骼已经塌陷了。所以这位 棒足双栖的明星得置换髋关节。而且就算他换了之後也一样能马上重返大联盟。 Napoli said earlier this week that he doesn't feel any of the symptoms of AVN (mainly, pain in the hips), which again suggests the problem was detected at a fortunate point. Napoli在之前表示他没感受到任何AVN的症状(主要是屁股痛)，所以代表他很幸运的在这 时候发现问题。 "Caught it at stage zero," Napoli said. "We saw a bunch of doctors, got a bunch of opinions and went from there. I got on medication. There's no reason I shouldn't be healthy and ready to go for Opening Day." Napoli表示：「在第零期就抓到了。我们找了很多医生，接受了很多建议然後就此开始。 我开始接受药物治疗，所以我没有理由不能维持健康，也没有理由不能准备打开幕战。」 -- 题外话 http://t.co/bthF4mKA In mid-2009, it was easy for those around the Red Sox to peer into a crystal ball and see a glimmering future for the 2013 season. Team officials could be forgiven for day-dreaming about an outfield of Jacoby Ellsbury, Ryan Kalish and Ryan Westmoreland, three players with the tools and baseball acumen that suggested the potential for All-Star status, the foundation of a dynamic Red Sox team that could feature speed, power, defense, athleticism . . . 哀 -- "HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT FAILS TO WORK HARD." --

Having been through this once, we all realize it will be a long and challenging road for Ryan, but with his determination, strength and courage, along with the support of his family, friends and the Boston Red Sox, we are confident he will win this battle. ※ 编辑: tanaka0826 来自: 122.117.20.246 (01/29 00:52)
