I did an online machine translation of the article olliez linked, here is what came out: Yao Mingzhei time undergoes the surgery is the left leg or 鍙宠剼? Is the osteomyelitis or other illness? Reporter yesterday understood from the related channel, Yao Mingzhei time undergoes the surgery the spot is the left leg big toe, being sick sickness is the paronychia but the non- osteomyelitis. Team medicine Tom after gave Yao the bright left leg big toe to undergo the first surgery, day before yesterday also has undergone the second surgery in the sores, the goal is goes to the pus to lessen the swollen area. Except that the surgery and makes outside the antiphlogosis in the sores, Yao is bright injects and takes the antibiotic every day. The domestic media therefore the report one, does not lie in the American media the report insufficiently to be accurate. Doctor Tom said that, Yao Mingzhei the infection big toe is mild, only infects the skin, the bacterium enters the bone by no means, therefore, this kind of illness should accurately be called the paronychia in China. Yao Mingyu before dawn returned to be located the Houston western suburbs today that 3 small foreign-style multi-storied buildings to carry on the recreation. "Team of the Yao" person in charge Zhang Mingji happily said that, "The Yao Ming wounds condition restores must be better than the expectation, what is most obvious was on his foot inflamed starts to abate." He after said Yao clearly gets the home, mainly is takes the antibiotic class medicine to carry on the consolidated treatment to the wound, this stage needs 6 week-long time. Yao Ming treats the group 鍏嬪叞椤縜nd so on 3 doctors to meet regularly carries on the doctors consulation to the Yao bright state of an injury, determines the next period of time the treatment plan. Yao Ming from on-line saw in the hospital ward the domestic media massive reports, he had felt this is the domestic fan and the media to his enormous care, but Yao Ming also said the domestic media the report insufficiently is accurate, the state of an injury also does not have that seriously.

Hmm....sounds like it is a mild version of osteomyelitis, and he still needs 6 weeks of rest and antibiotics.
You expect a sooner recovery? Why? Where the hell in the article (assuming it's true) states that Yao injury is not as serious as expected by the doctors? Dont put your wishful thinking like a fact in your post. It's not the best time to get the fans hope high. Guys please ignore his post and the article. There's nothing new. There's a lot of confusion in chinese articles about the medical term of Yao's injury. This article is trying to clarify it. If there's anything worth to mention, the article claims that Zhang of Team Yao said "Yao has recovered better than expected, the swelling of his feet is clearing not as serious as before." The article itself even mention that Yao needs to take antibiotic for the period of six weeks. Sooner recovery is just the thread starter's wishful thinking. LOCK THIS THREAD.
To refresh your memory, you posted it on 12-06-2005, 10:59 PM. You don't have to tell others how to read the post. People CAN make up their own mind. FYI, you are on my ignore list.
The Chinese article said that the injury is not so serious as thought to be previously and it is not osteomyelitis. However, it also said Yao still needs 6 weeks to take the antibiotic treatment and get it heal.
WTF? It is still osteomyelitis, except in Chinese, there are a few different ways to interpret it. You are excited on an disputation over different ways of translation? The operation was done and he has to rest for 6 weeks.
add Hey, clear as mud! But one thing the article seems to say is that there is going to be 6 weeks of antibiotic treatment but really says nothing about Yao's ability to walk, run, workout or play. Antibiotics once begun must/should be continued for a complete period until the infection is completely cleared. But millions of people take antibiotics and continue working and working out. So I guess we must await clarification from better sources on Yao's return schedule. Hopefully those updates will be better than the ones we get on Rafer and Sura. BTW I heard from an American doctor that he thought the correct diagnosis of Yao's condition is DannyFortsonItis Deliberateliasis Stepinuponit which Yao was exposed to twice in a very short span. This can be very damaging to the tissue of the big toe. There is a preventive medicine known as Mutombo Elbowsinsertus Cranialectomy. This is not to be confused with the condition that has run rampant through the clutchfans website from time to time known as the Rectal-Cranial Inversion. Reversing this condition requires the assistance of several strong friends, but the patient has to want to be cured, otherwise treatment is ineffective.
antifungals should be taken, aside from post-operative antibiotics. antibacterials are usually taken after surgery to decrease the incidence of skin complications. If it is onychomycosis of the toenail, then antifungals are taken for at least 60 days. This does not mean, though, that he should remain in the injured list until the time that he completes treatment. Depending on the toe bacterial superinfection and surgical recovery, he can probably start playing in 2 to 3 weeks. Foot care is very essential in team sports such as basketball, where people walk around the lockers barefooted. Believe it or not, his toenail infection is fungal, and might be a hygienic problem stemming from the locker rooms the Rockets visit. Here is to a speedy recovery....
what i do not get why is he on the IL for "several Weeks"? I treat these conditions everyday. ingrown toenails although very painful are usually treated by simple partial or complete sometimes permeanant removal. most patient's can go back to regular activity in a week. Paronychia or nfection of the nail border is treated by removal of the offending nail border and simple oral antibiotics for ten days. In Rare ocasiosns it can lead to osteomyelitis. so the story does not add up to me. if it really is not OM qy is he out "several Weeks"? cospiracy; are they tanking the season for better lottery spot next year? I doubt it.
I once had osteomyelitis of the tibia - had to take very strong antibiotics for a year...but that was only because I still had an iron nail in the bone that could not be removed. After it was removed, the osteomyelitis went away really fast - I strongly doubt that, with antibiotics, osteomyelitis in a toe could persist for a very long time under normal circumstances. So I think this report might well be accurate, and I hope it is true.
Well guys it obviously is not legit, there is no concrete detail backing up all this wishful thinking. Sorry guys, I want yao back asap too but this thread is nothing more than false hope.
agree. this news is reasonable enough to be trusted. the mentioned " 6 weeks" does NOT mean yao must stay out for 6 weeks. U may only state the longest recovery period of ur client publicly if u were his agent. Also, Doctors usually ask patients take pills a little longer even they are cured. So, from this source, I clearly can infer that yao will be back in less than 6 weeks. maybe as quick as in 3~4 weeks. here I guess maybe it takes 6 weeks to have a new toenail formed completely. any doctor here knows that? He is a real man, once he know he is getting rid of infection and his new toenail is OK, yao may play before his toenail's full reshaping.
