Lindsey Vonn Shows Scars and Takes First Steps in New Rehab Video

The post signals a tangible rehab milestone after surgeries for a complex tibia fracture.

Overview

  • Lindsey Vonn shared an Instagram clip that shows her rising from a bench, gripping crutches, and taking careful steps as she writes that she will keep getting back up one step at a time.
  • The video reveals red, healing marks running up her left shin toward the knee, and she still wears a special shoe on her right foot.
  • The steps come after her high‑speed crash in the 2026 Olympic downhill in Cortina d'Ampezzo, which left her with a serious shinbone fracture and required operations.
  • In a recent Vanity Fair interview, Vonn said her leg was broken with skis still attached, that she could not move, and that she screamed for help during a CT scan when pain medication stopped working.
  • Earlier rehab posts hid the injured areas, so this clip offers the first clear look at her wounds and gait, underscoring visible progress in her recovery.
