Sports doctor Nikita Karlitsky, in a conversation with , explained under what circumstances the boxer was injured in a street fight Dmitri Dvali will be able to continue his career.
Earlier it was reported that 23-year-old Dvali in Feodosia defended a boy who was beaten by the crowd and was seriously injured in the fight – doctors diagnosed him with a fracture of the orbital bone. The Investigative Committee of Crimea and Sevastopol is establishing the circumstances of the fight due to which the athlete could lose an eye. The chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bastrykin, ordered to requalify the actions of those who participated in the attack on the Russian champion as attempted murder.
On Sunday, Dvali told that he was preparing to undergo surgery and hoped to regain his vision, but had no comment on returning to sport.
— It is important to know how the fracture line of the orbital bone went. The optic nerve exits through the bone, if due to the displacement of the bone the nerve is damaged, then this is one thing, and not everything is very good here.
The second option is that when the blood vessels burst due to a bone fracture, a large hematoma begins to form and pushes the eye out. If you operate urgently within a few hours and release the hematoma, your vision can be saved.
There is a third option that is not associated with a fracture: contusion of the eyeball. This is when the blow hit the orbital bone and the eye.
— Will Dvali be able to continue his career if the doctors succeed in the operation?
“I don’t know exactly how the bones and eyes were damaged.” The best outcome is that the vision can be saved and the boxer can continue his career. The most pessimistic: the career will be over. With only one eye, a person will have to adapt. This process can take years, “Karlitsky told .
Dvali is the 2024 European champion and the 2023 world bronze medalist.
