Tiger Woods' Recent Surgery

Fans were thrilled when Tiger Woods competed and won the U.S. Open. He competed in the tournament against doctor’s orders. He has his third surgery in 14 years in April. It was arthroscopic surgery to remove cartilage from his left knee. Tiger experienced a benign tumor in his left knee in 1994. He recovered from that surgery rather quickly. Through the years, Tiger Woods has been the No. 1 ranked golfer. He has a very competitive spirit, which has helped him become number one.

Two days after Tiger Woods won the U.S. Open, he surprised many people by having his fourth knee surgery. This time he had surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Dr. Thomas Rosenberg and Dr. Vernon Cooley performed this surgery. They see no ill effects from the surgery. They have said that with rehabilitation and proper training, Tiger Woods should suffer no adverse effects on his playing ability. Tiger looks forward to the necessary rehabilitation and training. Tiger Woods has thanked all of the people who wished him well. He is looking toward the future and playing golf again very soon.

With the support of his family and friends Tiger Woods is looking forward to competing in and winning more of the tournaments that he is famous for. He has a very competitive nature and thrives to win. He will also require rehabilitation for a stress fracture in his left tibia. It is noted that he received this stress fracture by intense rehabilitation before the US Open. Once he goes through the rehabilitation Tiger Woods will be ready to play golf again with the same force that he is known for playing with.
