Aldo releases X-rays of broken rib
Jose Aldo’s camp has released rib X-rays. Even if you are not a medical professional, it doesn’t take a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing – the rib’s broken.
Brazilian reporter Ana Hissa tweeted images Jose Aldo’s X-ray. Even if you are not a medical professional, it doesn’t take a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.

Aldo’s exams
Aldo and his camp also sent an MRI to controversial orthopedic surgeon and former team doctor for the San Diego Chargers Dr. David Chao, and requested an opinion.

•I was asked to review Jose Aldo rib films. Yes, he has definite fracture. Here are actual images. White line is break
•Aldo camp and his manager asked for an honest review. Said they wanted to know the truth either way. Sent raw mri images.
•Here is actual image that shows @josealdojunior left T10 rib fracture. Very difficult to fight MMA
•No HIPAA (patient confidentiality) on @josealdojunior rib films as I had permission to comment whether they showed fracture or not.
•Apologize for image quality, literally took cellphone picture. Also remember @josealdojunior has to breathe during scan so motion artifact.
•Numbing or pain killing injections not legal in MMA or Boxing. @josealdojunior had to fight through pain or withdraw.
The next question of course is what X-ray was the US MD given that did not show a broken rib?
