Eileen Davidson Fractures Patella After Cold Plunge Fall

Davidson says surgery will require a multi-week recovery that could delay a hinted return to The Young and the Restless.

Overview

  • Davidson announced on Instagram on Friday, Sept. 18 that she slipped while exiting a cold plunge and fractured her patella.
  • Her post included photos showing a swollen kneecap and a leg brace and thanked EMTs and the team at Los Robles Hospital.
  • The actress said the injury required or will require surgery and that she will be sidelined for several weeks while she recovers.
  • A patella fracture is a break of the kneecap and medical guidance cited in coverage notes some breaks need surgical repair and lengthy rehab.
  • Davidson is a long-running soap and reality-TV figure whose recent absence from screens since July and social-media hints of a return to The Young and the Restless mean production timing and her storyline presence may be pushed back as she recovers.
