CEBU CITY, Philippines—As Cebu’s sports scene begins to get back on its feet after a two-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Cebuano sports surgeon Janos Vizcayno Jr. is now on the move to raise awareness about the importance of sports injury assessment.
Viscayno considers himself one of the “New Kids on the Block,” which comprises the younger breed of sports surgeons. These injuries are very common in sports like basketball, football, and other highly physical and contact sports, which are the most popular sports not only in Cebu, but in the entire country.
“One of the reasons why many athletes suffer injuries for longer periods of time is their hesitance. They are hesitant to go to hospital or doctor. Ang uban mag dugay-dugay, pero we understand because of financial reasons. Some resort to self-treatment, which is not entirely a problem, but you never know if there’s really something wrong with your injury. For the medical community, it’s better to assess and get the injury treated early so that the athlete or patient won’t end up spending a lot.
