Tiger's Utah cure
Tiger Woods' Park City surgeon, Thomas Rosenberg, is known for an innovative procedure that he hopes will fix Tiger's winning swing.

Rosenberg won't reveal exactly what he did during surgery on Tiger's knee, but he is a pioneer of the so-called double-bundle ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction.

Routinely, surgeons repair a torn ACL with a single strand of tendon tissue, taken from the patient's knee (or a willing cadaver). Rosenberg replaces both of the two parts of the ACL to preserve the "screw'' action of the knee crucial in a golf swing.
