Brignone, recovery ok: “Every day a small step”. Decisive CT scan for the knee

Bologna, 5 May 2025 – More than a month has passed since Federica's serious injury Brignone at the Passo San Pellegrino Absolutes. A fork with the arm that then caused serious consequences to the left leg, with the compound and multi-fragmentary fracture of the tibial plateau, that of the head of the fibula and also the lesion of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee. Operated immediately at the La Madonnina clinic in Milan, Brignone he is now proceeding with the rehabilitation phase regarding the double fracture in his leg, with a lot of work at J Medical in Turin, but for the knee a new CT scan will establish whether it will be necessary to intervene on the cruciate ligament. In the meantime Fede is spreading optimism on social media.  

The truth about the knee and recovery times by mid-month

The recovery times for Federica are not yet clear Brignone, at least as far as returning to skiing for the first training sessions is concerned. It will be necessary to understand the condition of the knee ligament and this will be done through new instrumental tests by May 15th. Based on the results, Brignone and her staff will decide whether to perform surgery there too or whether to go for conservative therapy. Only then will the timing of the 2024/2025 World Cup champion's return to the track be clear. The mission of Brignone is to try to get back on skis in the fall, let's say between September and October, but a new operation would extend the timing towards November and December, therefore after the start of the season in Solden at the end of October. At that point, Federica would have the mission of recovering as best as possible for the Milan Cortina Olympics that will start in nine months. They may seem like a lot, but they are not after a serious injury like that. The tiger from La Salle is not lacking in motivation, on the contrary. Just this season on the Olympia delle Tofane she achieved her first career success in Cortina in super G, plus her first podium in downhill, and the Olympic appointment is the main one in this final phase of her career and they are a track that has magically become a friend. Fede will do everything to be there, not only to participate but also to bring home something big. For now she has to wait and only the condition of the ligament will establish with greater precision how long it will take. In the meantime, the rehabilitation is going well: "Every day I manage to take even a very small step - the tiger communicated - Thanks to those who are following me for the rehabilitation, to those who have come to visit me this month, spent time with me, to those who have given me sweets, flowers, books or messages of support! My goal now is to walk again". And while the others are on vacation, Sofia goggia is in Maldives and Lindsey Vonn was present in Miami for the Formula 1 GP, Brignone works hard to try to recover as soon as possible. This is the time to show your claws. The Olympics are there on the horizon. To make history. Read also - Tennis, the Rome scoreboard: here is Sinner's path
