LG Twins closer Yoo Young-chan underwent surgery. It takes about three months of rehabilitation, so there seems to be no big problem in preparing for the season.

LG club said on the 4th that Yoo Young-chan was diagnosed with stress-stricken microfractures in his right elbow during a team medical check after completing the Premier 12 national team schedule"In order to prevent re-injury, surgery was performed to remove the main skull osteoporosis on December 2 at the Neon Zheng orthopedic clinic. Rehabilitation period is expected to be three months."

Yoo Young-chan, who joined the national team immediately after the postseason, returned and took a rest and underwent an annual medical check. At this time, he received a detailed examination because he said he had pain in his elbow, and at this time, he found a stress microfracture in his main skull.



In fact, for microfractures, there is no separate treatment, and you have to rest and wait for the bones to stick. The period is about three months.

At this opportunity, he decided to cut the bones of the utza in the main skull. As a precautionary measure, the surgery was decided to use a rest period to prevent pain because if the laughing bone is left continuously, it may cause pain.



Yoo Young-chan was reborn as LG's guardian deity in place of Ko Woo-seok, who left for the U.S. this season. Yoo Young-chan, who came to the first team for the first time last year and recorded 6 wins, 3 losses, 1 save and 12 holds in 67 games, took the mound in 62 games this season with a 2.97 ERA with 6 wins, 5 losses, 26 saves and 1 hold. He ranked third in saves after KIA's Jung Hae-young (31 saves) and Samsung's Oh Seung-hwan (27 saves), and was recognized as a stable finish from his first year. In particular, he took the mound in the eighth inning and recorded 11 multi-inning saves to the end due to the team's weak bullpen.

Since pitching is possible after the bone is attached, if you prepare from March, you will be able to meet the opening of April because you are a bullpen pitcher.
