“Tiger is recovering and in a good mood”
The doctor Jonathan D. Gelber He is an orthopedic surgeon and wrote the book “The Back of Tiger Woods”. In a column for The Guardian newspaper, the specialist provided details about the athlete’s clinical (and professional) future.
The most recent statement on Woods mentioned releasing the lining of his muscles to relieve pressure. Of all the possible injuries listed, this is the rarest, and often graveIndicates a condition called syndrome compartmental, which is a real orthopedic emergency. Because bleeding or swelling occurs in the leg, the pressure can exceed the body’s ability to pump blood to the leg muscles. As a result, the muscle can lose blood flow and start to die if the pressure is not released. This may require several large incisions around the leg. Once the swelling subsides, sometimes the skin can close from side to side, but sometimes the leg needs a skin graft, “Gelber expected.
The doctor added: “The biggest problem for that forests it could be the strength of your legs. Top athletes use their entire body in competitions. Whether throwing, boxing, or swinging a golf club, power generation and momentum are the key to optimal results. Woods has already had parts of him vertebral column melted as a result of repeated operations to remove material from bulging discs. Once the parts of the spine merge, more and more rotation is lost. And with Woods’ powerful swing, every degree counts. In the future you will have to heal your bones, but also your muscles. You will also need to strengthen those muscles and restore the orchestral performance, which is powerful swing set golf. That can take a year or more, even with arthroscopic knee surgery, not to mention multiple fractures and compartment syndrome. “
