The Olympic champion is in the intensive care unit of the hospital in Kommunarka for three months. The athlete underwent several complex operations, during which his legs, shins and hands were amputated. Now Roman’s condition is improving. The former partner of Tatiana Navka had a stump on his leg due to prosthetics. This means that the inflammatory complications subside.
The treating doctors assured the skater that his other leg is also healing. Doctors are also preparing for prosthetics and hands. Now a participant of many ice age seasons works with an instructor. The athlete also gets rid of depressive thoughts with the help of a psychologist.
Doctor of Medical Sciences Andrei Shestakov assessed the prospects for Kostomarov’s further treatment. The doctor said that it is not yet possible to give the patient prosthetics.

“It’s a good sign that Roman is getting ready for prosthetics. This means that the doctors studied the injuries well and reduced their number to a minimum. Of course, it is impossible to cure everything – how many complications can arise in the future if there is no proper monitoring. But the thrombosis remains, which cannot be removed. As a rule, it is not attached to a specific place, but moves around the body as 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 proceed with the installation of prostheses. The main thing is not to rush and smoothly move to the next stage of recovery, “Shestakov told Sport24.
Kostomarov claims that he is already feeling well. The skater really wants to go home, but the treating doctors explained to him that he needs to stay in the intensive care unit for another two to three months. Prosthetics should take place in the hospital of the capital. The day before, two-time Olympic champion Yevgeny Plushenko spoke about Roman’s condition after amputation.
