Tiia Aalto, the first runner-up of the 2024 Miss Suomi competition, recently provided updates on her health after being hospitalized due to serious injuries from a dog incident. She posted a photo on her Instagram story from the hospital, showing her hand in a bandage, and reassured her followers that the surgery went well. Aalto expressed her gratitude through a heart emoji, indicating her relief over the successful operation.

In her subsequent Instagram stories, Aalto explained the circumstances of her injury, revealing that she intervened when two dogs were fighting on Monday evening. Her decision to step in resulted in severe bite wounds on her left hand, which led to an open fracture. Aalto further described the seriousness of her injuries, mentioning that the bite wounds damaged her joints and tendons.

Following the surgery, Aalto disclosed that the wounds were carefully cleaned and opened due to a significant risk of infection, and the broken bone was stabilized with two metal pins to promote proper healing. This situation not only highlights the dangers associated with intervening in dog altercations but also brings to light the importance of health and safety, particularly for public figures like Aalto who have a substantial following and influence over their fans.
