And if Hinamori was frozen, that would be an interesting explanation. As it is, we don't know what Hitsugaya did with Hinamori's body and Hitsugaya's wings weren't breaking, that was merely the pillar on which Hitsugaya thought he impaled Aizen in.

Futhermore, at no point was Hinamori's body show to be disintegrating, as was shown with Starrk. Therefore, "what happened to Hinamori" is ambiguous. That is why she is incapacitated. You can believe her to be dead all you want, but the fact remains, the last time we saw her she talked and we don't know what Hitsugaya/Kubo did with her body straight after. When we find out, we can change her status if need be.
