Dancing With The Stars Maksim Chmerkovksiy Undergoes Calf Surgery
According to Maks Chmerkovksiy’s instagram, he had surgery last night for his calf. Photo below. Also below is the sweetest photo of Baby Shai sending him love and the best wishes too courtesy of Peta Murgatroyd. Speaking of Peta, she told Us Weekly on Monday that Maks is staying positive despite the circumstances. “His spirits are a little bit lifted right now, and he’s kind of looking forward to getting it (his calf) taken care of and getting it treated so he can get back out and dance.” Let’s wish Maks a speedy recovery and hope he’s back on the dance floor soon.
ETA: Sadly, Maks’ injury might be worst than he first thought. From ET….
The 37-year-old Dancing With the Stars pro star has been sidelined in the competition due to a calf injury, and will also miss week three of the competition. Chmerkovskiy’s reps tell ET that he’s currently in recovery, and the procedure he underwent to repair his calf injury went well.
However, a source tells ET that Chmerkovskiy tore his calf muscle “pretty badly,” and that he’s gotten a series of shots — not a surgery — to help recover.
“He told everyone he will be back in a couple of weeks but that isn’t true, it’s a lot worse than everyone initially thought,” the source says. “Doctors are insisting that Maks sit out for at least a month, but knowing Maks he will try and rush it and get back into the competition.”

ETA4: From People….
Is that baby not the cutest or what? So sweet!
I wish Maks well and I also hope Peta has PLENTY of help with Shai. I worry about her because she looks so tired. I know she has a nanny but I wonder if her mom has come from Down Under to help her out? Just curious… Wish I could watch Shai – my kids would love him! 🙂
Yup! He’s in my area! His DR’s wife is a longtime friend!
OMG that baby really is the cutest!! ???
WOW he went for surgery fast!! Maybe that’s a good sign he wants to recuperate and get back to the show? ? At any rate, I hope he follows doctors orders and takes care of himself….
I agree with what EVERYONE has been saying about Peta: she looks exhausted!!! Motherhood takes a lot out of you to begin with, add in this type of career and spotlight in entertainment and I would think it’s even more exhausting. I’m sure she has more than enough help with the baby; it’s herself and Nick who she has to worry about…
She does look a little tired and exhausted. When you carry and have a baby you body goes thru changes. They have enough money to hire/pay their love-ones to come and help out. MAKS appears to need/want a lot of attention.
hope and pray that someone from his family can come and help him out or calm him down.
That doctor may well be amazing but from what I can gather Maks injury is pretty serious and he would be wise not to rush back to the dance floor.
The internal source (assuming it’s legit) said it’s not surgery, but multiple injections. Someone said Sharna had stem cell repair so maybe they’re doing the same thing here. With surgery I doubt he would return this season, but perhaps with the other method he might, although why risk it?
This might be payback for him coming back when he said he wouldn’t. Hopefully this means the producers have to change their plans regarding Heather.
Be sure to see the first post for updates if interested.x
Best wishes for a full recovery to Maks.
I’m sorry he got hurt and I hope he heals fast.
Also, with all the ambiguous info it leaves a lot of room for the producers to create a lot of drama. Which makes me sad.
Goodness that baby is cute!!!
@Narice Dr Seeds IS amazing. He’s my ortho Dr too! And his wife?? She’s just…….awesome!
@justine1 I’m fairly certain Maks is recovering at his Dr’s home since he is very good friends with his Dr & the DR’s wife. Peta recovered there as well when she dropped out of S21 & needed ankle surgery. The Chmerikovskiy’s in addition to Artem, Keo & Sharna are ALL good personal friends of the Seeds family. I’ve been friends with Mrs Seeds since 2000, when we worked together as RN’s at a local hospital!
Trust me when I say Mrs Seeds is VERY protective of Maks/Peta/Val when they’re under Dr Seeds’ care! This time is no exception. Maks deserves privacy as he recovers from his injury. And I respect that!
What? A patient recovering at his doctors home seems so bizarre and a tad unprofessional. Just my opinion though.
Why not? It works for them…keeps him away from paparazzi too 😉
Professional dancing takes such a toll on a dancer’s body. Not only physically, but mentally as well. During the recovery period many dancers also struggle with anxiety and depression, wondering if they’ll ever be back to 100%. In major dance companies there’s always a younger dancer available to take your place. It’s a rough profession. Professional dancers have my utmost respect and admiration.
It sounds like Maks is in good hands. I wish him a thorough and speedy recovery.
I hope Peta has a good support system in place to help her while Maks is recovering and she’s still competing on the show.
Baby Shai looks like a lil male Peta! ?
