""It took a bit more than 6 hours to complete. As you can see, it required a lot of plates and screws to put back together.""
""With the extent of the trauma, I've been struggling a bit post op and have not yet been able to be discharged from the hospital just yet,""
""I'm bionic for real now.""
Lindsey Vonn underwent another operation on a badly broken left leg and remained hospitalized nearly two weeks after a violent Olympic downhill crash. She flew home to the United States after a week of treatment in Italy for a complex tibia fracture and at least four prior surgeries. The most recent reconstruction took more than six hours and required multiple plates and screws to rebuild the bone. Vonn reported postoperative struggles and has not yet been discharged, describing slow progress with 'baby steps.' She crashed while skiing with a torn ACL in her left knee and a partial titanium replacement in her right, and her skis did not release, raising safety concerns.
