In May 2022, Katherine Kelly Lang revealed that she underwent surgery after sustaining an injury on her foot while horseback riding with friends on Mother’s Day. In a post on social media, the actor shared photos and clips of herself riding a horse on a trail at the Malibu Creek State Park as she recounted the accident. “I started out on a beautiful ride yesterday with friends. Our plan was to do 40 miles for training for the 50 mile-horse race coming up in June. It was a beautiful day!” Lang recalled.
However, when she decided to allow the animal to rest as they navigated a particularly rough bit of terrain, Lang tripped on a rock and severely injured her foot in the process. “My ankle and foot dislocated off to the left at a 90-degree angle to my leg. I pushed it back into place. It was so gross but I had to do it,” she revealed.

Lang was immediately brought to the hospital, where an X-ray revealed that she had three broken bones in her ankle and would need surgery to repair them. “Had surgery late that night and now have rods, pins, and screws in my ankle,” Lang shared in her post, which included photos of her injured foot and a snap of her on a hospital bed. Despite the accident, the “Bold & The Beautiful” star tried to remain positive. “There is always a lesson to be learned,” she said.
