He is currently undergoing treatment and rehabilitation in Kommunarka. This is the best clinical cluster in Russia.

For a long time there was no news from the athlete. Fans worried about the physical and psychological state of the athlete. But in May, he made contact. The appearance of the athlete has changed a lot, he turned grey, and the look lost its usual shine.

But so far, Roman has only mastered new legs. He is currently training on temporary prosthetics. When the time comes, he will have permanent prostheses. As for the hands, you have to be patient. Hand replacement has not started yet. First, the stump must fully heal and form. And only then will the doctors begin to create new hands for Roman.



For a long time, everyone thought that Roman Kostomarov flew to Germany for rehabilitation. And the German doctors themselves have repeatedly invited the skater to come. But he refused and continues treatment in Russia. And while doctors fully cope with the task of putting the athlete on his feet. Roman is determined to return to the ice and continue his work.
