Overview
- The 48-year-old had surgery on November 19 at IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli in Bologna and documented the day on Instagram.
- His stories showed a bandaged left leg in a brace with the caption “Sembra più dritta?” after he wrote that the operation was finished.
- In April he described chronic bowing of the legs linked to three prior operations on the internal menisci, noting he no longer has them in either knee.
- He previously outlined that surgeons would perform an osteotomy with bone cuts above and below the knee and insert plates to defer a total knee replacement.
- He is in the immediate postoperative recovery phase, with no detailed clinical outcomes or rehabilitation timeline released.
