The professional skier suffered an intense crash after clipping a gate and falling just 13 seconds into her run in the Olympic women's downhill final on Feb. 8 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
On Feb. 23, Vonn shared that the trauma from the crash led to compartment syndrome in her leg, and that her leg nearly had to be amputated.
"After two weeks, I finally made it out of the hospital. 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 one hundred. I'll give you the full rundown," she began in a lengthy video update.

She explained, "Basically I had a complex tibia fracture... everything was in pieces."
Vonn went on to praise her longtime doctor Tom Hackett, and credited him as the reason why she still has both of her legs today.
"Dr. Tom Hackett saved my leg. He saved my leg from being amputated," she said, as she became emotional. "He did what's called a fasciotomy, where he cut open both sides of my leg and kind of filleted it open... let it breath and, um, he saved me."
After sharing in-depth explanation about her medical procedure, the optimistic Vonn ended her video with reassurance that she's going to be okay amid her long road to recovery.
"It's going to be a long road, but I alway fight. I'll keep going. No regrets," she said. "I just appreciate all the love and support. It's been amazing. Overwhelming to an extent. I wish it had ended differently, really, but I'd rather go down swinging than not trying at all."
