Milan, April 3 (LaPresse) – Federica Brignone "is not doing well, she had this bad fall today and suffered a fairly significant fracture of the lateral tibial plateau. She just arrived, we’ve evaluated the tests, but especially the condition of her skin and how much her knee has swollen, so we decided to go straight into surgery." This was said by Professor Andrea Panzeri, president of the Medical Commission of FISI, speaking about the Aosta Valley champion who arrived at the La Madonnina clinic in Milan. "I won't hide that the fracture is serious, the bone has broken in a significant way, but she's strong, fortunately, she's healthy, and she’s never been seriously injured before today," he added. Regarding the postoperative recovery and recovery time, Professor Panzeri explained that "it’s difficult to make predictions now, we need to see how we can reduce the fracture, how it goes, then we’ll be more precise either later or tomorrow morning. Are we talking about months? We’re talking about months."
