美国滑雪运动员林赛·沃恩(Lindsey Vonn)在2026年冬季奥运会女子速降比赛中几秒钟后便发生了坠摔,她于周一表示,手术挽救了她的腿部免于截肢,并且她终于出院,正在继续康复。
“我终于恢复到可以搬到酒店的程度了。虽然还不是家,但这是巨大的一步!”她在Instagram上发帖说道。
在一段描述自己伤势的视频中,沃恩称赞她的外科医生汤姆·哈克特博士(Dr. Tom Hackett)挽救了她的腿部免于截肢,并表示哈克特医生为她进行了筋膜切除术——一种“剖开”她腿部的手术。
沃恩称,她遭受了复杂的胫骨骨折和其他骨折,“一切都碎了”。她还出现了骨筋膜室综合征,克利夫兰诊所(Cleveland Clinic)将其描述为肌肉周围压力痛苦积聚,可能导致永久性损伤。
她还表示,自己的右踝骨折,接受了输血,并且当时坐在轮椅上。
“这是一段相当漫长的历程,也是我一生中经历过的最极端、最痛苦、最具挑战性的伤病,痛苦程度是之前的100倍。”她说。
她透露,自己在医院躺了近两周,“几乎完全无法动弹”。
“现在我将专注于康复,几周内从轮椅过渡到使用拐杖。”她写道,“所有骨头愈合大约需要一年时间,之后我会决定是否取出所有金属内固定物,然后再进行手术,最终修复我的前交叉韧带(ACL)。”

这位41岁的美国人住在科罗拉多州,尽管在瑞士阿尔卑斯山的世界杯赛事中左膝前交叉韧带(ACL)已经撕裂,但她仍决定参加奥运会。在奥运会比赛中,她似乎碰到了赛道边缘的标志旗后失控,侧身飞出,头部着地。她当时还有反应,但没有起身。医疗人员将她抬上担架,并从赛道上用直升机空运至医院。
她表示自己没有遗憾,“宁愿奋力一搏,也不愿完全放弃尝试。”

Lindsey Vonn says surgery saved her leg from amputation after Olympics crash
Updated on: February 23, 2026 / 11:27 AM EST / CBS News
American skierLindsey Vonn, who crashed seconds into her downhill race at the 2026 Winter Olympics, said on Monday that surgery saved her leg from amputation and that she is finally out of the hospital as she continues to recover.
“I’m finally well enough to move to a hotel. It’s not home yet, but it’s a huge step!” she posted on Instagram.
In a video message describing her injuries, Vonn credited her surgeon, Dr. Tom Hackett, for saving her leg from being amputated and said he performed a fasciectomy — a surgery that “filleted” her leg open.
Vonn said she had a complex tibia fracture and other fractures, and that “everything was in pieces.” She also had compartment syndrome, which the Cleveland Clinicdescribes as a painful buildup of pressure around muscles that can lead to permanent damage.
She also said she broke her right ankle, had a blood transfusion and was in a wheelchair.
“It has been quite the journey and by far the most extreme and painful and challenging injury I’ve ever faced in my entire life, times 100,” she said.
She said she has spent nearly two weeks lying in a hospital and was “almost completely immobile.”
“Now I will focus on rehab and progressing from a wheelchair to crutches in a few weeks,” she wrote. “It will take around a year for all of the bones to heal and then I will decide if I want to take out all the metal or not, and then go back into surgery and finally fix my ACL.”

The 41-year-old American, who lives in Colorado,decided to compete in the Olympics despite rupturing her left ACL in a prior crash during a World Cup event in the Swiss Alps. She lost control in her Olympic race after appearing to clip a flag marking the side of the course, flew sideways through the air, and hit her head on the ground. She was responsive but did not get up. Medical personnel put her on a stretcher and airlifted her from the course.
She said she has no regrets and that she’d “rather go down swinging than not try at all.”
