Dr. Camilo Arenajo, a bone and joint specialist who examined the MRI done on WBO light flyweight champion Donnie ?Ahas? Nietes who hurt is right hand in round seven of his title defense against former WBO minimum weight champion and mandatory challenger Francisco Rodriguez in a classic unanimous decision victory in Cebu last Saturday, has indicated there is nothing to worry about.
In a telephone interview with the New Standard/boxingmirror.com, Dr. Arenajo said the injury was ?more of a ligament, not of a bone? and that he discovered ?a small tear of the middle finger joint of the knuckle.?
He told us ?the treatment is very simple. All he needs is rest. There is no need for medication? except perhaps a warm compress and anti-inflammatory medicine.
The well-known specialist said ?the normal healing period is between three to six weeks but Donnie can still do his regular conditioning regimen? without punching the heavy bag or the punch-mitts.
Dr. Arenajo indicated that ?once it heals. Nietes will be back to normal.?
He explained that the MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging can see all the tissues and helps diagnose and treat medical conditions.
