“I am a cyborg with a titanium bone.” Shubenkov said he underwent surgery on a broken collarbone

Russian 110m hurdles world champion Sergei Shubenkov told how it was the day he received a broken collarbone and also said he underwent surgery for it.

Last week, the athlete’s trainer Sergei Klevtsov told that the 32-year-old broke his collarbone following a fall from a motorcycle. Shubenkov on Saturday called the prospects of competing this season waves.

– After the fall, I arrived at the emergency room, where I was given the correct diagnosis: a fracture of the left clavicle with displacement, but the treatment was chosen strange – to tighten my shoulders as much as possible, apply a bandage ” eight”, take an X-ray in one screening and let yourself go home. He seemed to look exactly, so “he will.” They didn’t hesitate to send me immediately to the hospital, or at least to take my profile picture, but I didn’t insist, because I was tired, (it was) very painful, sad and generally I wanted to go home.

It took a week to do an alternative X-ray, understand that an operation is necessary, wait for the plate and pass all the tests! And we also tried to do everything as quickly as possible and in one place, and not to go to clinics. Nevertheless, now everything is done in the best possible way, I am a cyborg with a titanium bone,” Shubenkov wrote on the Telegram channel.

Shubenkov has gold, two silver and bronze medals at the world championships.
