Overview

  • Dr. Andrea Panzeri, president of FISI’s medical commission, performed the minimally invasive arthroscopy at La Madonnina clinic in Milan nearly four months after Brignone’s initial April surgery
  • The procedure cleaned joint debris and improved her left knee’s flexion to 110 degrees to accelerate tissue healing and mobility
  • From tomorrow, Brignone will resume a tailored rehabilitation program at JMedical in Turin under the supervision of FISI specialists
  • Experts identify a November comeback to the slopes as essential for her to train in time for the Olympic downhill event scheduled in February
  • As reigning World Cup champion with multiple Olympic medals, Brignone’s bid for Milan-Cortina 2026 hinges on full physical and mental readiness
