The surgeons who performed Tiger Woods' reconstructive knee surgery say it was a success and he should not have any long-term effects.Woods will now miss the rest of the season, including the Open at Royal Birkdale next month and September's Ryder Cup in Valhalla, as he requires a lengthy spell of rehabilitation on his knee and left tibia which was shown to have a double stress fracture.
However, his surgeons are confident that the latest operation has been a success and that he will make a full recovery.
Dr Thomas Rosenberg, one of the two experts who worked on 31-year-old Woods, said: "We were confident going in to this surgery and I am pleased with the results.
"There were no surprises during the procedure and, as we have said, with the proper rehabilitation and training, it is highly unlikely that Mr Woods will have any long-term effects as it relates to his career."
