A few months ago, Zambrotta appeared on the podcast Passa al Bsmt" explains: "I have had medial meniscus surgery three times and now I have no meniscus in either leg, so over time my legs gradually became crooked and now I have become an experimental model for many surgeons. They look at me and ask me how I walk. The questions follow. It becomes more and more serious as time goes by. "

"I need to do an osteotomy, which is to remove some small pieces of bone and insert a steel plate to try to avoid having a total knee replacement now, although I will eventually have to do a total knee replacement in a few years."
