The serious lower leg injuries Tiger Woods sustained in a car crash on Tuesday typically lead to a long and perilous recovery, calling into question his ability to play professional golf again, according to medical experts who have treated similar injuries.

He better be full of anti coagulants.
You starting with that shit again?
Why so hostile?
That road gets foggy in the morning.
I’ve had an accident where I crushed my left ankle. Tough. Still able to walk but limited in abilities. Lots of metal fused to bone and muscle.
Was 1997 and they first talked amputation.
The press are very good at fibias! ;-)
And why did you evade the legitimate question at #21 ?
You come off all bravado and hostile and when asked why, you completely evade the question. Seems a bit odd.
Wow!! Appreciate the link and picture. Some SERIOUS recovery time.
LOL!
C’mon man. You know the thing.
Can the guy just get out of the hospital first before people worry about golf.
A clot killed Derrick Thomas, the Chiefs linebacker and Bama standout after his car accident.
NOT allowed in the Pro ranks, IIRC.
Even if he never holds another club in his life.
Follow The Sun Was a great movie about Hogan...stars Glenn Ford and Anne Baxter..
“I’ve had an accident where I crushed my left ankle. Tough. Still able to walk but limited in abilities. Lots of metal fused to bone and muscle.”
My bad one happened in 1978 when I got dropped through a trap door, breaking my left foot and ankle in six places. Lost most of the flexibility of the ankle but was able to walk again. Also learned about “cast disease” where the muscles atrophy because of the immobility imposed by wearing a cast. Tiger’s going to have the same problem because both his tibia and fibula were completely broken, destroying the entire ability of his right leg to support any weight until they heal, a process that’s going to take a few months. By then his right leg’s muscles will be seriously atrophied, meaning he’ll need a lot of physiotherapy to regain their use. The damaged right ankle is also going to need a lot of work, meaning he’ll need somebody around the house to help him through the next few months.
That's nothing but pure, gratuitous cruelty to a decent, horribly injured human being.
No.
Yeah, a tough road.
Maybe Tiger took Ambien to get a good nights sleep. He woke up late and groggy. He was a bit disoriented from the Ambien and crashed his SUV. He should have had a driver. Good luck Tiger!
About time Tiger played with a handicap...
I wouldn’t trust the source of the diagram for anything.
Oh, be nice!
That is asking a lot for all the millions of words to always be spelled correctly.
