Overview
- Vonn moved from hospital care to a hotel nearly two weeks after the Cortina downhill crash left her largely immobile.
- She detailed a complex fracture of the left tibia, compartment syndrome in the leg, and a fractured right ankle.
- She plans to transition from a wheelchair to crutches in the coming weeks as structured rehabilitation begins.
- Bone healing is expected to take about a year, with possible later procedures to remove hardware and reconstruct the ACL.
- Reports say she underwent five surgeries, the latest in the United States after initial treatment in Treviso, and she noted Hackett was in Cortina only because she chose to compete despite a prior ACL injury.
