In the first shot, Vonn can be seen reclining in her hospital bed.

In the new post, Vonn shared that the surgery was a success.
“Surgery went well! It took over 5 hours to remove all of the plates and screws from my leg and replace my ACL. I am home from the hospital now and thankful to be on the final road to a full recovery. Thank you to Dr Hackett, Dr Viola, Lindsay Winninger, the @usskiteam, all of the medical staff and of course my loved ones for helping me through this. ??,” Vonn captioned the series, which included graphic photos of the surgery in progress and recovery photos alongside her pup.
