Maksim Chmerkovskiy Still Wants to Win ‘DWTS’ After Calf Injury

Maksim Chmerkovskiy recently injured his calf when rehearsing for Dancing With the Stars as well a procedure to fix it.

Maksim recently skyped in to explain to his dance partner where his healing process was at.

“They extracted some of my bone marrow stem cells. Made a concentrate out of that, mixed it with my plasma-rich protein—if that means anything to anybody out there…and they injected it back into my calf. I still feel like we have a chance and you deserve it. I want to give you 150 percent effort and be physically as active as I was at my best when nothing hurt. I want to come back and win.”

Maksim had to sit out from the competition following the injury, and meanwhile Heather performed with Alan Bersten who has subbed in on the show in the past.
