She was forced to undergo surgery and got a rod implant due to her injuries.
Adriana also revealed she found out she was pregnant when she was admitted to hospital for treatment.
In her first livestream after the injury, she said: “I was pregnant, and I didn't know until I was in the hospital, so I also have, like, crazy hormones.
"I'm not pregnant anymore because of the surgery."

Beneath the foam cubes was a rubber mat which did not make for a soft landing when players fell from the podium.
