Lindsey Vonn recovers from knee replacement surgery, cleared to travel
Lindsey Vonn, 3x Olympic winner and retired alpine skier, has recovered from knee replacement surgery and has been cleared to travel. Vonn underwent surgery earlier this month, which was carried out by Dr. Roche and she had informed fans about it in an Instagram photo she shared while in the hospital.
Lindsey Vonn had wanted to try out the option of slowing down the need for knee replacement surgery but it later got to a point where it became unavoidable. The 39-year-old champion disclosed that her knee problems stopped her from carrying out her usual activities. She said on Instagram story:
"But I got to the point where it was too much and my knee could not handle doing the things I love to do.”
"So Dr. Roche did a Mako Robot-assisted lateral unicompartmental replacement. In other words, they cut off part of my bone and replaced it with titanium pieces. Dr Roche and his team did an incredible job and I'm recovering well. I hope this helps me lead the active life I've always wanted.”
In the new photo Vonn shared on Tuesday, April 16 on her Instagram story, the retired alpine skier informed fans about her recovery from surgery and the fact that she can now travel. She wrote:
“Cleared to travel so here we go”
