Lindsey Vonn is still recovering after that devastating downhill crash at the Olympics — just days after tearing her ACL.
Sunday’s fall was a “freak accident,” according to @RachelFrankMD, and likely unrelated to the ACL.
Dr. Frank, a sports medicine specialist at @uchealth, sits down with @KDVR to break down what happened and what recovery may look like for Lindsey Vonn. ⬇️
