The surgeon who operated on Lindsey Vonn's right knee was "optimistic for a full recovery" after she shredded two ligaments during a crash last week at the world championships.
Dr. Bill Sterett, a physician for the U.S. Ski Team, performed the procedure on the four-time overall World Cup champion Sunday morning in Vail, Colo. In a release issued by the ski team, Sterett said the surgery went well and that she was resting comfortably.
"The overall success rate for ACL/MCL surgery is very good. Modern surgical techniques combined with aggressive rehabilitation will help Lindsey make a full recovery," said Sterett, who's also a surgeon at Vail-Summit Orthopaedics. "She will do everything in her power to return as quickly as possible to competitive skiing."
Vonn tore her anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments last week during the super-G in Schladming, Austria. She also broke a bone in her lower leg.
Sterett said it was too early to issue a specific prognosis and didn't have a return date to skiing for Vonn. But other doctors believe she could be sidelined for up to eight months.
That would give her time to get back to the slopes for the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, which are a year away.
"Unbelievable. I'm really proud of my team because many times we were down in the overtimes and kept fighting back. Everybody was part of it tonight. It's one of those magical nights." -- Notre Dame coach Mike Brey, whose squad beat Louisville in a Big East-record five overtimes Saturday.
Tuesday's edition will be full of L-L League boys' basketball playoff coverage. Look for reports from Ed Gruver on Lampeter-Strasburg at Elizabethtown, Kevin Freeman on Lebanon at Donegal, Mike Gross on Cedar Crest at Lancaster Catholic and Jason Fulginiti on Lancaster Mennonite at McCaskey. Jason Fulginiti will also offer a preview of the L-L League girls' basketball playoffs.
