Andrey Shestakov, Doctor of Medical Sciences, named the main problem that can interfere with the fitting of prostheses in Roman Kostomarov, the formation of blood clots in the vessels that interfere with the normal blood flow in the body. Thrombosis causes swelling of the extremities and can cause gangrene. The doctor’s words lead sports24.
“An unrecoverable thrombosis remains. As a rule, it is not tied to a specific place, it moves around the body when the patient moves.
It is difficult to determine where he can move – this is his great danger. If the risk of thrombosis is still high, then in no case should you continue to wear prostheses, ”Shestakov said.
At the same time, the doctor considers it a positive sign that specialists have already begun to prepare Kostomarov for prosthetics. This means that they have well studied and “minimized” injuries to the athlete’s arms and legs, and that the overall condition of the skater is stable.
It has been known before Why is Kostomarov not transplanted anywhere at the moment?.
