Yes, Orihime can't go to the Spirit Palace, but what I'm saying is that taking Ichigo there to reforge his sword in the first place could be avoided.

Yes, she was unable to heal Ichigo when he was attacked by Ulquiorra because of his reiatsu bathing the wound. Which means that unless Tensa Zangetsu is impregnated with Haschwald's reiatsu, Orihime could simply reject the event of snapping his sword in two.
