Arabella Kiesbauer reported to Instagram. After her skiing accident, the presenter “survived an operation well”.
Arabella Kiesbauer (53) contacted her Instagram followers again after her skiing accident in Kitzbühel. In a post the presenter explained on Wednesday (February 22nd): “I survived two hours of surgery well – I’m slowly getting really alert again.”
As of today, her full concentration is on healing “my freshly screwed knee”. Kiesbauer published a picture that shows her in the hospital bed with a smile on her face and two thumbs up. The presenter also revealed in the hashtags that she had sustained a tibial plateau fracture, i.e. a fracture of the tibia head.

The 53-year-old had previously told her Instagram followers about her accident on the ski slope. “Many thanks to the competent mountain rescue service,” wrote the moderator a few days ago, among other things to a short clip with pictures showing her in ski gear and with her leg in a splint on a rescue stretcher.
“Nothing knocks out sunshine – not even a complicated fracture,” she also said last Tuesday in another post. “Today I’m going to have an operation. From tomorrow I’ll be worth even more with all the metal parts in my leg,” she joked and thanked “the numerous recovery wishes”. The accompanying photo showed Kiesbauer sitting on a chair with his leg in a cast.
