Sov. Sport April 6, 2005 Three times World Champion Evgeni Plushenko was operated in Munich –in Dr Ulrich Mushavec’s clinic. According to doctors’ prognosis Plushenko may come on ice in 2-3 weeks time and after that forget about his health problems. May we point out here that during recent Worlds in Moscow Plushenko has withdrawn before the free skate due to the excruciating pain in the groin. On the next day after withdrawal Evgeni and his coach Mishin had a consultation in Moscow Central Traumatological Institute and the diagnosis was “ miscro rupture of the ligament of the rear thigh surface in the groin area” which was the reason of the terrible pain. Backstage of the Worlds were started rumours that if Plushenko will have an operation he will not recover before Olys in Turin. In order to check the diagnosis of Moscow Institute Mishin and Plushenko consulted M. Grishin , the doctor of StPet football team “Zenith” ( such injuries often happen to football players). “Zenith” doctor suspected that such pain may be caused by the widening of the “groin rings” – muscles in the groin area. Small hernias were formed on them, causing pain. To check the diagnosis once more doctor Grishin advised Plushenko to go to Munich to Dr Mushavec’s clinic. In Germany Grishin’s diagnosis was fully proved after which Plushenko had two operations. According to German doctors, in 2-3 weeks Plushenko may come on ice and in a month forget about the injury. Such optimistic prognosis in based on that this particular clinic is famous for its quick recoveries after operations on groin rings.
