We talk about return to sport, but in these types of situations the more important thing to focus on is return to life. Even if his legs were amputated I think Tiger would still try to play golf, but let's first let him focus on getting healthy and back to day to day life before speculating on if his career is over
Edit: for those wondering about his recent spine surgeries, part of the initial trauma assessment includes evaluating the spine and neuro status, so they at least check for major injuries. Now certainly a disc or something could have been affected but that wouldn't be top priority during initial trauma eval unless it were causing major neuro problems
Amen. Prayers to tiger
Well said Doc, After one of his back surgeries I remember Tiger saying golf was the furthest thing from his mind. He just wanted to get healthy - I'm sure he'll take that same approach & work hard (as always) to obtain that goal.
When I see stuff about not “life threatening,” and compartment syndrome and comminuted long bone fractures, am I just hyper scrutinizing to think of fat embolism and reperfusion problems?
Brian,
Don’t forget to really emphasize neurovascular compromise. Nerves and blood supply! The P’s. Also the direct insult of the location and type of fracture. Great job though.
If the mind is right, the body will follow. His mind hasn't been right for some time now. He's making mental errors that he never made when he was young. Is anyone talking about him fighting through chronic pain and substance abuse? That's what Tiger needs help with. Golf is probably an escape from reality.
Didn't even bother with any of the news regarding Tiger Woods. Waited for the Doc to explain everything. Thanks!
Same.
exactly.
sure boy
I immediately thought of the dr when I heard about Tiger’s situation.
this is the way to do it, cause the doc waits for more info and is a professional
Forget golf, glad he's alive
Yes, exactly. Thank you for seeing this
I don’t care if he tees up again, at least he can be a dad still.
That was my first thought as well.
he can have a life again.
Just glad he was the only one in the car. What if Charlie or his other kids were in there and didn’t make it. They all have bright futures and are lucky they weren’t lost.
That's what I told my Wife.
Yeah, thank god that he didn’t have a back/neck fracture
The only good to come out of this is that kids aren't left without a father, my friends dad got into a car accident and died when we where in 5th grade and it destroyed him because of how close he was with his dad
Prayers for Tiger wood and his family this accident could have been a lot worse 🙏🏾
He needs to go to rehab and get off the pills (opiods)
Yes I guess he could've killed other families that were using that stretch of motorway, nice that he took that into consideration.
He struggled with pain medication issues in the past I wish him well and God speed take it easy man...
I definitely do not enjoy hearing about someone suffering an injury like this but I do enjoy your content afterwards. Thank you for making it easy for a guy like me to understand things like this easier.
Even if this is career ending. He's the Goat of the sport. Doesn't need to prove anything to anybody. Take care Tiger and heal up
Yep. He’s just playing for the love of the game at this point. I hope he comes back so he can call it quits on his own terms
Yeah hes definitely the face of the sport all he has to do now is probably rest and enjoy life or he can also make a last stride.
Spot on
HUH?!?! GOAT?!? JACK NICHOLAS...
GTFOH
Is he 'out of the woods' yet?
2020 was the year we lost too many. We ain’t losing more in 2021. Prayers up
I’m not a physician yet (still pre-med), but after watching your videos for years, I’m beginning to predict correctly what you’re going to say say in your analysis before you say it... which is crayyy. It goes to show how great your videos are
Hello Doctor,
Could you please do a video on the fight between Valdez vs Berchelt that happened last week. Many commentators were saying the fight should have been stopped at the 4th round, but it wasn't. The knockout that ended the fight in round 10 was quite scary. I would appreciate your thoughts on that. Thank you!
Some things are bigger than sports. Not a golf fan but hope he can recover and get back out there. From the reporting, it seems he's lucky to be alive, regardless of whether he can eventually return.
Yeah I'm not even a golf fan but, it is a miracle that he only suffered the injuries he did hope he has a speedy recovery and gets back to playing golf.
Yeah just seeing the scene of the crash caught me off guard and the injuries he’s sustained hope he can recover fully and not suffer from the after effects later on in his life.
Dr. Sutterer, I almost kept up with your information this time. I'm getting better. I always have a pen and paper close by to write down what I have to look up when the video is over. I look forward to your videos.
Excellent coverage, Dr. Brian!
Day two, and as of yet I hadn't heard any reports on Woods' injuries..
Then, here you are - explaining it all.
Thanks. 👍
Seeing his car wreckage was very eerie, especially after what happened to Kobe last year. Thank God Tiger's injuries aren't life threatening.
they are life changing and quality of life changing though.
Very informative! Thank you! My first cousin wrecked his 3 wheeler in 1985 and compartment syndrome. He ended up with nasty scars from groin to ankle and trouble all his life. I pray Tiger's injuries heal well. I dont really follow him tbh, but know he is one superb golfer!
Back in university, I had broken my tibea and had a rod inserted in my leg the same day, then a few days later my leg was like twice it's normal size. They discovered I had compartment syndrome and had to slice open my leg to release the pressure.
Due to compartment syndrome, my lower leg had muscle deformity and nerve damage that caused foot drop and hypersensitivity from my foot up throughout my lower leg. Not to mention, the pain was a 10 out of 10. Never hurt so much in my life.
I got rid of the foot drop after a lot of physical therapy, but still don't have full control of my big toe and limited dorsiflexion in my ankle to this day (11 years later).
Compartment Syndrome is very serious. Wishing Tiger the best!
Wow, very interesting! Sorry to hear that though!
I feel your pain bro! I had the same thing . Through a snowboarding fall. 9 or 10 years later now I’d say and same thing as u maybe 80% ok. Little deformation. Hang in there big guy .
Keep up the great work Brian! Love the content! Prayers for Tiger and his family, hope he has a full recovery 🙏🏽
Great analysis as always. Thanks, Dr. Sutterer!
He's had 5 back surgeries, wouldn't it be a concern that this kind of accident causing some sort of damage to a compromised spine?
time will tell. this did not help his back, for sure. 5th surgery,....
His knees has also given him a bunch of trouble. In 2008, he had surgery to repair one of them. He got just healthy enough to play in that year’s US Open, and had to get another knee operation right after beating everyone on just one good leg.
check the pinned comment
Neuro trauma would have presented itself in the immediate. No mention in update of inability to move extremities or loss of sensation.
Agree nobody is talking about this!
Man... My Uncle had a injury like that from a car crash when he was 18.(1980) It sealed his fate and kept him from following his dreams as a drummer. Every surgery (he had over 30) made the pain worse. I've seen it first hand, be careful about your feet. You don't realize how important they are until they're taken away.
This guy gave the best description of medical issues that I have ever heard. The diagrams were spectacular! Great job, Dr. Sutterer!
Excellent presentation. Thanks Dr. Sutterer.
Brian, you look like you must have just woken up to film this video. Props to you for being quick with the explanation of his surgery
I came right here after seeing the list of injuries to have it explained...also saw the Tiger doc pretty fascinating.
Thank you Doc, I was anxiously awaiting your video on Tiger Woods and as usual another great, informative video.🙏🏾👍🏽
As always, incredible job explaining this doc
Very informative...hope you can do a follow up as more details become known...mahalo!
Waiting for this video to drop. Awesome work
What is it called when you can almost feel the injury that someone is describing. This was so detailed i had to shut it off...😩
People who have the ability to feel the pain of others are called EMPATHS....
This is the video I’ve been waiting to see!
Hey doc, would love to hear ur thoughts on Chiropractic care in the future. There seems to be a lot of debate in the med community
@@mattgoss3060 I see. Best of luck with everything and hope it all goes well
Thanks Doc for explaining and teaching us...We look forward to hearing your expertise ❤️️
The goat!....Doc Sutterer comes through with the answers I needed.
Doc, as an avid golf enthusiast, I was disappointed that I did not see your quick reporting, yesterday. However, I do understand you need credible data (video or doctor's report) to publish a thorough and professional explanation. With this video, I am now completely satisfied with your report.
Thanks. I thought it would have been very improper to speculate when all we first knew was car accident and leg injuries. Sometimes it's better to wait for good info, so thank you
Imagine being the surgeon working on tiger. So much more pressure
Honestly in that situation those trauma surgeons are taught to focus on one thing, saving life, then next is saving limb. There's probably more stress for the spine doc operating on his back tbh
Why. I been through car accidents. I feel sorry for all the Americans who haven't got health insurance. He will be treated like a king.
@@catwrangler7907 facts no health insurance is rough
@@BrianSuttererMD yeah. Good point.
I would not think so.
Not gonna lie when I saw the news I instantly thought about what you were gonna say about it. Guess I'm becoming a big fan of yours lol
Dr Shutter, thanks for the detailed medical analysis on the report of Tiger's injury... I wish him all the best and hope his recovery is goes well. Irish Fan.....
Do you have any idea what something like this might mean for his back and other surgery recovery he was going though? Great video!
Great video! Q: How might an accident/injury like this affect his previous back surgeries?
First things I thought when I read the tweet was When’s Brian’s video gonna come out, here I am
I had a pt with similar injuries after a MVC head on collision. His leg penetrated the vehicle firewall into the engine compartment, we thought it was amputated until we got access to him during extrication. Took him over a year to be able to walk unassisted.
So I am in high school and love your videos. I want to be a neurosurgeon. Have any tips on how to be prepared later on in schooling. And what I should major on in college. Currently 8th my class out of 360
Used to work in a trauma/neuro unit (RN). Took care of many patients with fasciotomies. Hopefully they can keep the area from getting infected.
It is going to be some time before anyone will know how he will do.
Thank you for the explanation of Tiger’s injuries. I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up. It didn’t happen but I still have great interest in these topics. I had shattered my foot in a fall years ago. I understand what recovery feels like. I know Tiger will be given much better care than I ever received. I always liked the man. I watched him acting human before the entire world. He remains a sports hero, to me. I agree, that he will need to focus on well-being first. Our bodies usually tell us how far they will let us go until they let us know that healing takes time. I wish him an excellent recovery. Please stop judging the man.
This video should receive exactly ZERO dislikes. Perfect perfect perfect.
Great explanation.... Thank you...
I heard something about him having a recent back surgery, was there any word on complications of that surgery sustained in the MVA?
Doc, does the fascia heal itself? Do they have to go back in and reattach after the swelling goes down?
I know next to nothing but what I have experienced through my own injuries and I'd guess that they would have to do something to close it and then it could do the rest.
Praying for no infection and Tiger to successfully come through this recent battle! I was concerned about his back as he just had his fifth back surgery in December and was still healing from that.
They deadass cut his shin. Mans took shin splints to a whole new level
Thanks Doc ..appreciate your explanation 🙏😷
I had tib fib compound fracture in football and I’m 22 and gives me such pain haha
My injury wasn't that bad, but it took me 4 months to take the first steps. Thank you for the report. Good luck to you.
“Out of the wood” I see what you did there sir 😂
He was waiting his whole life to deliver that line, lol
@@chiefdenis smh/lol/smh
moment it happened I was waiting on Doc to let us know whats what
Does tmz have footage of them getting Tiger out of the car. They usually have film of everything else that happens to celebrities.
Could you due the Valdez vs Berchelt fight. Specially the first knockdown
Thank you Doc for breaking it down.
Have you ever heard of Kneesover toes guy? I would to love to hear your opinion on his training methods
Future video idea: Larry Bird's back injury. Great stuff!!
Hey Doc, how much is his age going to play a factor in rehab/recovery?
Praying for a full recovery!
Is there any concern for his back in an accident like this due to his relatively recent back surgery? That was one of the first things that came to mind for me.
I really hope this doesn’t become a trend where around that January/February time in the year where a prominent athletes get in a serious accident. We lost Kobe in late January last year, and now we got Tiger in a potentially career-ending injury in late February
Wow that sounds so painful
That was a pretty bad accident. Glad to hear it wasn't life threatening. Happy to know he can heal up and head home at some point 🙏👍 Get well soon man!
Took hours from the first notification to find out if he’s gonna be a veggie or not. Thanks
I was struck by a car and had similar injuries, but not compound fractures. However, I did suffer a ruptured bladder, fractures to hip and spine. Thank God he had his seatbelt on... Hope he feels better.
Always clear and accurate explanations for the "non medical" community. Thank you
Thanks Doc..
2:52. I noticed that in that photo, they didn't treat the fibula fracture! Why? Or is that an X-Ray they might have taken mid-surgery?
Heartbreaking!!!!!! Stay safe💪🏽🤙🏽
Hey, Doc! Do Michael Schumacher please
He was recovering from a back surgery. And given his history of back surgeries, are there any possibilities that those structures were affected?
I was thinking the same thing.
That’s crazy😬😬
But was his back injured because he just had back surgery about 2-3 months ago
EXCELLENT EXPLANATION HOPEFULLY TIGER WOODS RECOVERY IS GOING WELL. THANKS DR.
Thanks doc! You the man!
I’m glad my men Tiger Wood is still alive to be there for his kids playing is the second option at this time I’m sure he will bounce back ASAP.
Hope that he recovers well after this unfortunate injury.
I broke my leg. Years ago but it healed perfectly. No problems at all but it was not a compound fracture!
If it comes out you are not a real DR imma be so mad lol......i believe in you 100% boss lol....keep pushing
You said that having to cut through the fascia was concerning to you, but didn’t really explain why it was concerning or the possible risks with that. Could you explain more why needing to cut through the fascia is a big deal? Does it not really heal well? Is he going to have muscle problems later? Is there a risk or nerve damage with pressure build up?
Hyundai's GV80 was put in a live rollover test instead of using lab dummies. And TW was the volunteer driver who was trying to cover 1 hour driving distance on hilly roads in less than 30 minute time! Result: despite the heavily damaged to the engine compartment following impacts to trees and signs, also despite the severity of several rollovers, the rest of the GV80 remains intact. Score: A+++ for its structure and Hyundai should be proud of that!
Have there been any reports on how the accident may have affected his previous back surgeries?
Ouch, that had to hurt.
Good information. Should have went more into detail about faciotomy and how brutal they look. Also he will need a wound vac over the faciotomy for healing. Skin graphs may also be needed. How do I know this? My son was in a head on collision with a drunk 10 years ago. He still can't walk normal and still has pain and loss of feeling. He also is missing 3 ligaments around his knee. Tiger has a long road in front of him. I'm sure he's getting the best specialists available. Unfortunately my son didn't. Search unusual orthopaedic injury hip fracture dislocation of hip Dr. Ebraheim, on RUclips. Thats my son's injuries.
4:45 well played doc, well played
If you made a second channel. and broke down the human body as like an education videos. I would totally watch.
What about walking again, what impact will this have, if any?
Thank you doctor....
Doc you are Great! If you ever need a Igor I'm your guy 🏁✔🇺🇸🍷♥️
Thank you 😉
No signs of Woods braking around a dangerous curve, multiple car accidents in his life, and DUI’s. Warning comes before total destruction. Glad he’s alive, but this guy seems to need help, whether spiritual or therapy from substance abuse. Hope he gets what he needs to avoid these perilous situations.
Didn't Tiger have a knee surgery several years back...
Jesus what a gruesome debilitating set of injuries. Just hoping he can walk and regain normal life. Thanks for the knowledge Doc!
Was the rod they placed in his tibia a Ping Zing or Nike? Best wishes to his recovery
I have kids and just happy no kids in the car. I hope he heals well, and wishing all the best!
Tiger is -1 today 4/7/22 at the Masters, amazing guy, his toughness on another level.
