Twitch Silent on Foam Pit Injuries at TwitchCon, Pretends Like Nothing Bad Happened
, told Gizmodo that the way Chechik fell into the foam pit suggests there was a significant axial load on her lumbar spine, which could have fractured the
one or two vertebral bodies. Gottfried is of the opinion that the streamer likely experienced a burst fracture. “Think about the injury resulting in compressing the spine together like an accordion, but the bones are firm and stiff, and they break apart from the contact of hitting each other,” Gottfried, said in an email. “Typically, this kind of injury can also fracture other surrounding bones, and sometimes bone fragments can compress on nerves. It is a very painful and serious injury.
After surgery, Chechik will likely require physical therapy in order to maximize recovery of her strength, range of motion, and mobility, according to, said the streamer’s post-surgery treatment will depend on the condition in which she emerged from surgery. Yang pointed out that since it appears Chechik has bladder dysfunction—she has stated on social media that she needs a catheter to pee—that will require rehabilitation.
