On Sunday, six years of Michael Schumacher's ski accident at the Alpine Meribel station were completed. The mystery continues to surround the state of health of the Formula 1 world heptacampeón, especially after the enigmatic message released last week by his wife Corinna: "Big things always start with small steps. Many small particles can form a large mosaic," he said. to fans who launched a support page called Keep Fighting Michael .

A few days after these words from Corinna, the prestigious neurosurgeon Nicola Acciarri offered some clues about the possible state of the Kaiser , treated with all the medical attention in his Swiss house in Gland. "We must imagine someone very different from whom we remember on the circuits," the Italian doctor told motorsport.com .

Acciarri, a great fan of Formula 1, also speaks of "a very changed and deteriorated organic, muscular and skeletal framework" because of the "brain trauma" suffered after the impact against a rock. Also, the surgeon at the Bellaria Hospital in Bologna talks about "360 degree care".

Mother cells

This continuous care, according to Acciarri, especially affects physiotherapy sessions against "muscular atrophy, tendon abnormality, osteoporosis and even organic disorders."

Remember that last September, Schumacher was transferred to Paris to be admitted for a few hours at the Georges-Pompidou Hospital. According to the newspaper Le Parisien , everything was due to a revolutionary treatment with stem cells. However, Acciarri also did not want to be too optimistic in this regard.

"Today these types of stem cell therapies are experimental. There is nothing concrete and widespread," he said of the work of cardiac surgeon Philippe Menasché.
