Elaine Hendrix Plans DWTS Return After Rehearsal Injury

Doctors cleared the Parent Trap star to continue after a stretchered hospital visit, with pain management underway before rehearsals restart Friday.

Overview

  • Judges scored Hendrix and partner Alan Bersten on rehearsal footage after she was unable to perform live, awarding 8s across the board.
  • Viewer votes kept the pair in the competition, preserving their place for next week’s show.
  • Hendrix said on Instagram she is sore but "starting pain management," will skip dancing for two days, and targets a ballroom return next Tuesday.
  • She described ribs that "seized up" and separate foot pain linked to a titanium joint from a 1992 accident, which recently caused torn skin while dancing barefoot.
  • Bersten said he was told doctors have cleared her to dance next week, though some outlets differed in describing whether a formal procedure occurred.
