Overview

  • Katja Burkard announced via Instagram that she underwent meniscus surgery on her knee and expressed gratitude for the positive outcome
  • The 60-year-old presenter is now in hospital without pain or swelling and is able to walk unaided
  • Doctors have prescribed several weeks of rest to allow her knee to heal fully, postponing her next appearances on Punkt 12
  • Viewers are expected to notice the absence of the longtime RTL anchor, who has fronted the midday news program for over 30 years
  • Burkard’s intensive sports routine, including training for last year’s Cologne Marathon, likely contributed to the knee injury requiring surgery
