The doctors who performed the surgery on Tiger Woods explained that he suffered a fracture that splits the bones above and below his tibia and fibula. Doctors attached metal rods, screws, and pins to the broken right shin and calf after the crash.
Nick Cullen, an ankle expert at the Royal Orthopedic Hospital in London, said Tiger Woods is likely not to come back as a professional golfer. “The bone broke in several stages and pierced the skin. It also affected the ankle joint,” Cullen explained in detail about his injury. “Woods suffered an injury that threatened not only the leg, but the whole body. Amputation is not necessary right now, but it is possible,” he said, claiming that his chances of returning are less than 50%.
On the 23rd, Tiger Woods was urgently taken to the hospital in a terrible accident in which the car he was riding on was overturned. The LA County Sheriff who was dispatched said he had to use vehicle cutting equipment to rescue Woods. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff, Woods, who woke up after surgery, did not remember the time of the accident.
