Doctors react to Lindsey Vonn’s plan to race on torn ACL
DENVER — A Colorado sports medicine specialist says Lindsey Vonn’s plan to compete in the Olympics with a completely ruptured ACL would be extraordinarily difficult — and comes with a heightened risk of further injury.
Vonn revealed on Tuesday that she fully tore her ACL during a crash at the Alpine Ski World Cup in Switzerland, where she lost control during a downhill run and slammed into a safety net. She was airlifted to a hospital and later confirmed the diagnosis at a news conference.Summer Exercise Safety Tips with Dr. Baran and HCA HealthONE
