Therapist Yuri Serebryansky talked about how long it would take to prepare Roman Kostomarov’s arms and legs for prosthetics and put on artificial limbs. Words of an expert drive the portal Popcorn News.
To remember doctors operated on both legs of the figure skaterprepares them to wear more prostheses. The next step will be a similar action on the hands.
“This is a preparatory phase. We need to look at the size of the stump, create a stump and prepare a prosthesis for it,” he said. “They’re probably going to prosthetic his legs first so that Roman can stand up. First one, then the other.”
The doctor also noted that as soon as Kostomarov learns to stand up with prosthetics, he will be freed from the threat of bedsores, the process of soft tissue death that occurs due to circulatory disorders in bedridden patients.
“The novel will be spoon fed for now. Then they will operate on their hands – there will be more complex prosthetics, ”said Serebryansky, noting that the whole process will take about four months.
Earlier, the doctor said Kostomarov will not return to sports, even with expensive prosthetics.
