6-8 weeks recovery unfortunately puts an end to her season.
Goes out to her especially after all she has been through. Had the same injury of the left hand myself recently so I know she has pain as well as disappointment not to mention added difficulty if her right hand is dominant Healing time will depend on whether it is a simple (straight line) or compound. Heal quickly and well Aliona!
As bad as this is we fans are well aware this could have been much much worse.. rest and recover
I had left wrist surgery in 2017 and they put in a titanium plate and I think 8 screws in it. I sure hope Aliona does not need anything like that.My
Yours was a serious break indeed!! Let us hope Aliona’s is easier to manage…
On a spiritual note, everything happens for a reason. But whatever the reason is, I really hope she stays strong and determined to carry on and we'll see her skate at the age of 22 or 24 or when she's even older! (Maybe that is the reason why this has happened, who knows... Time will tell.)

Had the same thing with my left wrist - bad fall at a high school reunion. Titanium plate with 6 screws however great doctors at Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC. Doctor forbade me any rehab - said I did not need it as he did great work. But than again he is the hand surgeon for the NY Giants football team. 12 years later have never had any adverse affects. Here's hoping Aliona has a speedy and healthy recovery.
Ted got to love himThat's really nice of Ted!
We who have “been there” have a lot in common with Aliona.. hope her injury isn’t as serious. Having a great surgeon is the lion’s share of the battle and, man, you were lucky! I was taken to the ER in terrible pain… I “knew” instinctively it was broken but the intake physician (a man about my age) who I swear needed a corneal transplant said “It’s not broken.. you have a sprain…”
but he asked for x-rays anyway.. even the x-ray tech said it was broken when she took the films but the break was so clean it was indeed hard to tell!! The intake physician later apologized to me..
Guess it comes with living in the country where great healthcare is scarce.. haha
From my perspective, the only thing that has changed is that now Aliona probably won't even be an alternate for the team, but who really knows? Any of the other girls could still get injured or sick between now and February 3, so I still think anything is possible (though highly unlikely).

It's my non-dominant wrist and I guess I got back to like 90%. Aliona as beautiful as she is is a super tough athlete and I guarantee you she will come back too soon rather than too late because it's just the way these athletes are wired. But if the rest of the season is all over for her then why not just wait until the summer to come back at test skates?
What country are you in? Good job on on the man pushing them for an x-ray and I'm sure the Russian doctors will do right by Aliona.We who have “been there” have a lot in common with Aliona.. hope her injury isn’t as serious.

More detail may leak about Aliona’s injury in the coming days; it did not take long before we discovered more about Daria’s hip but we know very little about Sasha’s foot injury.. if Aliona does not put on skates right away, I will wager she gets into the saddle just as soon as she can hold the reinsWhat country are you in?

Right as I was about to get knocked out for my surgery the surgeon came in and she talked to me for a minute I thought she looks familiar. It turns out I've seen her at church which is why I recognized her right before she operated on me. It really can be a small world. And her daughter does some figure skating. I actually sometimes talk about figure skating with this doctor when I see her.
I wish we had more information on Aliona's broken hand or wrist so we could figure out the next steps. I can attest that my wrist strength is almost back to normal where it was 4 years ago. I actually fell in a 5K race about six months after my left wrist surgery and no problems with my wrist or hand. My wrist held up but my collarbone did not. And my pinky has been jacked up since then.
If it's one of those situations where it's like a 50/50 situation whether to have surgery or not I would say go ahead with it. But it's up to Aliona and her doctor.

At first I was glad to read about 4 years, but now that I think about it, why are they so convinced that she will continue another 4 years? Unless she has a contract when she came back to ET and by obligation she must. Currently she cannot even say anything about her fracture.The post from Kostornaia Team about her injury was the first thing I saw about it, so although I was totally bummed to hear about her injury, I was also really excited to hear that she wants to keep skating for another 4-year cycle!!
