When the 31-year-old American took a crashing fall in the high speed super-G event Saturday, there were real fears for her future, particularly with a long history of knee injuries.
But X-rays revealed Vonn had not sustained ligament damage, although there was still the fracture.
Lindsey Vonn is stretchered away on a sled after crashing out of the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup women's Super-G in Soldeu, Andorra.
The U.S. ski star has been on fine form this season.

That victory was Vonn's 37th in World Cup downhill races, more than any other skier.

Lindsey Vonn crashes out of Soldeu super G
Even with this more optimistic prognosis, few believed Vonn would risk her injury in a World Cup competition, particularly one which requires skiers to complete a super-G event, followed by a slalom test through gates, with the skier with the fastest time over the two legs declared the winner.
There was not a fairytale ending as, not surprisingly, Vonn lost ground in the slalom and eventually wound up 13th overall behind winner Marie-Michel Gagnon of Canada.
Vonn posted her intention to compete on her Facebook page on the morning of the event although she clearly still had doubts about racing.
“Drained my knee a few times and it’s feeling a little better. Going to go up on the hill and see how it feels. Wish me luck!!” she said.
A two and a half hour delay due to adverse weather conditions would hardly have helped, but Vonn did eventually power from the gate from start number 20 and set the fastest time in the opening section, posting 57.04 seconds.
In second place was improving teammate Laurenne Ross with Lara Gut of Switzerland in third place.
Gut is battling with Vonn for the overall World Cup title, taking all the skiing disciplines into account, trailing her by just eight points going into Sunday’s racing, but lost further ground as she failed to finish the slalom.
Vonn’s 20 points left her 28 points ahead in that battle.
Lindsey Vonn screams with joy after clocking a time of one minute and 37.01 seconds in the women's World Cup downhill event at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.

The impressive run would be good enough for the American skier to win the event.
