I experienced both anterior and posterior ligament damage as well as cartilage damage and replacement due to a severe football injury in high school. As a result of that damage and subsequent problems over the years (arthritic spurs, miniscus tears, etc.) I have had to learn to play around this issue.
Because the injury was to the left knee I have learned to play with a rotation of the left foot outward in varying degrees, depending on flexibility and or pain. Turning the left foot outward reduces the torque on the left knee and allows me to stand on the left side at finish without pain or undue stress.
Although I have only dreamed of playing at Tiger's level, I have enjoyed the game for 50+ years since that injury and still do to this day!
I wondered why Tiger never stumbled across turning the left foot outward and thereby preclude the necessity of spinning on the left foot? I realize that the outward turn could reduce hip rotation to the right but a preset could offset that. In any event, at his level of ability I am sure he could have worked through it.
I wish him well in his recovery and look forward to his successful return.
