Looks as if we won’t be seeing Tiger Woods play golf any time soon.
On Wednesday, it was announced Woods had undergone a subtalar fusion procedure to address his post-traumatic arthritis from his previous talus fracture.
A talus fracture is a break in one of the bones that forms the ankle. The subtalar fusion is used to help relieve pain in the joint beneath the ankle joint and correct deformities in the hindfoot caused by injury, arthritis or genetic defect.
Woods withdrew before finishing his third round of the Masters after making a record-tying 23rd consecutive cut.
Dr. Martin O’Malley at HSS Sports Medicine Institute in New York City performed the surgery, which was determined to be successful.
