Part 2/6:
The specific injury involved a torn latissimus dorsi, or lat, muscle, which the athlete described as "tore off the bone." This serious injury requires a surgical procedure to reattach the muscle to the bone, which involves surgical screws and a healing period that is expected to span ten to twelve months. The severity of the injury and the forthcoming rehabilitation process left the athlete with a mix of emotions, but the determination to return stronger filled his thoughts.
