2022-23 Injuries and ills

[surimi]

Reading this makes me so appreciative of all skaters dealing with complicated, repeated and inconveniently located fractures. Kihira and Aoki and their broken ankles, Bradie and her foot fracture (I think Edmunds had to retire because hers wasn't heaing well?), Satoko and Usacheva with their hip fractures (didn't Nathan have one too, in juniors?), Kostornaia with her repeated wrist fractures, and so many more. And of course, a shoutout to the two heroic men currently jumping quads on 3-times fractured ankles, Sota and Erokhov.
Wishin them all firm health...

I don't even wish them anything besides good health anymore!!!!! All will be ok if only they have zero injuries!!!

It's a weird situation where whenever I discover someone I like my first thought is ",I hope their health and bones hold up!!!"

I hope Lucas has only a superficial fracture and that it will heal very fast, like healing for most young people does.

For what it's worth, here's the image he'd posted on IG: https://twitter.com/AnythingGOE/status/1596195562688286720/photo/1 The previous IG link doesn't work for me anymore, maybe he's deleted the photo. It doesn't look like a full-length fracture to my eyes, but then, I know nothing about fractures or medicine...

We need an orthopedist in this forum to analyze this. I really hope Lukas will recover quickly, at least for Worlds. (if not before) ... But I also hope he will not come back too soon. The one good thing for him is that injuring an ankle, or any lower limb is much tougher for a skater than upper limbs...

Paging Dr. Valtter Virtanen...

Lukas and Valtter both train in Oberstdorf with Mr. Huth, so it should be possible for him to take a look

My son had a broken collarbone from ice hockey. He was able to get back 8-9 weeks later. His was not a bad break... and getting back to ice hockey required longer... and he was afraid to check when he played his first match after!

Nina Pinzarrone (BEL) is injured, but says she will be back for Euros and Worlds.

Isnt this rather presumptive of Nina or alternatively says a lot about the state of Belgium ladies skating after Loena.

Given that there was only 1 other entry besides Loena (Jade Hovine) at Belgian nationals and Belgium has 3 spots at Worlds, it's probably not presumptive of Nina?

Lukas Britschgi broke his collarbone yesterday

poor boy what a bad luck! he was just starting to shine! i wish him speed recovery

Hi! New poster here. I broke my collarbone in a cycling accident. After 6 weeks the bone had not healed at all and I had to have surgery and a metal plate inserted. I got the metal plate removed 18 months later. I wish him well but if he is recovered in time for Euros it will be some kind if miracle.

hello there! welcome on golden skate! post long, post often and come take a look at the live chats. it's fun and we're all mad there

With this comment my hobby life and work life have officially merged again.

When Connor McDavid broken his collarbone at few years ago, he was out for exactly 3 months. I don't know when he was back on the ice, but sometime before that since he was playing games again at 3 months, and NHL hockey is a contact sport, of course. Really depends on the individual injury and person, but I don't think Worlds would be out of the question since it's more than 3 months from now.

Children has collarbones, too. But in Finland you must have basic knowledge from general medicine before specializing. Dr. V have studied in Germany, but it does not make difference to demands.

I suspected that because he didn't lutz.. not just the quad but also the triple he usually does in the LP... I had mentioned that concern in the thread.. Let's hope he recuperates quickly.. that's the issue with this sport... one needs to find a balance between training and health... I remember Patrick saying later on in his career that he gave up on the quad flip and then the quad salchow which he had acquired much later, because it took too much training and was too harsh on his body, and he wanted to be able to live a healthy normal life after his career....
