In a report to socialbites.ca, Aleksey Shpilkov, the head of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky’s city duma, described an incident involving Mikhail Ukhin, the city’s acting chairman. Ukhin reportedly slipped on a frozen puddle in the administrative garden, resulting in a broken ankle. Shpilkov stated that there will be no immediate blame assigned to any party for the injury, and that the city’s mayor has not raised any formal complaints at this time.

According to Shpilkov, the incident occurred as Ukhin walked from the administration building toward the city council. While the roads surrounding the building were cleared and appeared safe, Ukhin stepped slightly to the right and encountered a frozen patch. He did not anticipate slipping, and the fall came as a surprising accident. Shpilkov emphasized that the event happened during official hours and within the administrative courtyard, not within the duma, the offices, or the corridor. He noted that the situation was not clearly categorized as a production issue or an administrative negligence matter. Ukhin’s condition, however, appeared stable, and Shpilkov mentioned that he spoke with him personally. Ukhin, who has prior experience in medical settings, reportedly maintains positive spirits and humor despite the setback. Shpilkov added that Ukhin’s medical background means he is familiar with doctors and nurses involved in his care. (Source attribution: Socialbites.ca)

Shpilkov also indicated that Ukhin would be on sick leave for roughly three months as a result of the injury. He described the fracture as a displaced, displaced fracture with an open component, noting that the treatment would begin in hospital and would include surgery only after swelling subsides. The timeline, Shpilkov suggested, could extend to three months, conditional on the patient’s progress during rehabilitation. In the interim, a deputy would lead the city duma.

Earlier commentary from a traumatologist touched on fall safety, noting general considerations for reducing injury risk during slips and how proper responses can influence outcomes. While the overall message centered on practical precautions, the broader takeaway underscored how quick medical assessment and careful rehabilitation are essential to recovery after such incidents.
