Sochi's Olympic champion Adelina Sotnikova underwent surgery after she was diagnosed with degenerative stenosis of the cervical spine. On Instagram, the skater said that the cause of the injury was increased stress, and her attending physician noted that the surgery was forced.
On February 18, fans of domestic figure skating were overtaken by news of an unexpected hospitalization of the Olympic champion Sochi-2014 Adeline Sotnikova. It was noted that the skater was under the control of doctors of the City Clinical Hospital No. 67 named after L.A. Vorokhobova, however, for whatever reason - was not officially reported. Her trainer Elena Buyanova claimed that the athlete’s hospitalization was planned, and also emphasized that the treatment would be operative — with surgical intervention.
Sotnikov’s diagnosis and her entourage were carefully concealed, and, according to a number of media reports, they even demanded that the doctors not give any comments. However, later, the Mutko v Telegram channel published information according to which the skater turned to doctors because of osteochondrosis. Sport24 also published a video showing how Sotnikova is in the hospital corridor, and a special collar covers her neck.
Only by the night of the same day, the Sochi Olympics champion turned to the fans, posting a small post on Instagram. In it, Adeline confirmed the fact of surgical intervention, and also called the causes of the injury - increased physical exertion.
“Dear my and beloved fans, thank you very much for your sincere concern for my health. Everything is fine with me. The operation was successful and I am in good hands. Recycled a little. There is still rehabilitation ahead, but I can handle it and hope very soon we will see you. Your Sotka", - wrote Sotnikova.
Later comment was given by the agent of the Russian figure skater Maria Shashina. On Instagram, the representative of Sotnikova emphasized that the operation was successful, albeit difficult. In the near future, the athlete will be under the control of doctors, after which she will have to undergo a long recovery course. At the same time, there is no talk about retirement - and Sotnikova hasn’t officially hanged skates yet, although she last competed on a professional level in the distant 2015/16 season - she’s not talking.
“Dear friends, fans and all sympathizers. We sincerely thank you for the huge number of words of support that we have received over the past 24 hours! Adeline Sotnikova is really hospitalized now, she underwent a very serious operation, and she is waiting for a long way of rehabilitation and recovery. Nothing threatens her life, and she feels satisfactory, ”the figure skater’s agent wrote.
In her report, Shashina also asked media representatives "not to disturb the staff of the medical institution on issues related to the hospitalization of Adeline."
“Until you wait for any comments on this issue, we need to focus on recovery. Thank you for understanding!" She concluded.
However, doctors did not comment without comment. Later it became known that with discomfort in the neck area Sotnikova turned to Konstantin Ternov, an orthopedic traumatologist and director of the rehabilitation center of the First Sechenov Moscow State Medical University. After a medical examination, the doctor revealed that the skater had degenerative stenosis of the cervical spine, which, according to him, was manifested not only due to high physical exertion, but also because of the past of the skater, who was engaged in gymnastics before going to the ice, - a small injury received in youth, could manifest itself in Adeline at 23 years old.
“Adeline is very flexible. Those athletes like the gymnasts have weak connective tissue. Sotnikova could bend initially without any training, it was easier for her to do than ordinary people. The injury brought instability and spinal cord problems. The pain in this case usually does not appear in the neck, but in the limbs,” the evening Moscow quoted the traumatologist.
