Lindsey Vonn shares 'pain has been hard to manage' after 6-hour surgery
USA TODAY
Lindsey Vonn crashed at the 2026 Winter Olympics, broke her leg and was airlifted to a hospital. Here are the latest injury updates today.
MILAN — Lindsey Vonn says her latest surgery went well and she hopes to be out of the hospital soon.
The surgery Wednesday, Feb. 18, took a little over six hours and photos of her left leg show more than a dozen screws. Vonn suffered a complex tibial fracture in a crash in the Olympic downhill Feb. 8.
"As you can see, it required a lot of plates and screws to put back together but Dr Hackett did an incredible job," Vonn wrote on Instagram, referring to her longtime orthopedic surgeon, Tom Hackett.
"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," she added. "Almost there. Baby steps."
Vonn also posted a photo of her being wheeled into surgery, her fifth since the crash. She gave a victory sign and a fist pump, and she's holding the stuffed shark she received when she was in the hospital in Italy.
