Does the drill through the bone close and heal, or will there always be that hollow area there?

Thank you Dr.

Thanks for sharing some medical instructions for shoulder replacement surgery, so helpful.

HELLO I'VE GOT THIS PROBLEM & NOBODY IN THE NETHERLAND CAN DO THIS FOR ME IS THIS A HUGHES FINANCIAL PROBLEM CAN YOU INFORM ME PLEASE KIND REGARDS WILLIAM

I tore my long head tendon obviously below the groove and no pain happened 3 weeks ago getting ready to go into physical therapy feels good got some shoulder pain it's about it

Excellent explanation thank you

The nurse didn’t know what she was doing on the sling Thanks so very much.

Would this still apply to someone that had one rt arm Rottercuff surgery for a large tear Nov 22, 2022 then scr surgery same arm June 2023, then another same arm scr surgery April 2024 I have been extra extra gently this time, thought I was before but it failed

biggest problem was getting my Orthopedic Dr., to take the injury seriously. it took two weeks after the injury to get an appointment, then we had to do an xray. another week passed while he argued that studies for individuals over 55 didn't substantiate surgery. Finally got an MRI which showed the tear with a 3.3 cm sparation. surgery was scheduled 34 days after the initial injury, with a different surgeon. I'm two days into recovery now. initial Orthopedic surgeon did my full knee replacement 17 months ago. with the exception of similar scheduling issues, he did a great job and I have no complaints. Seems that HMO's simply don't want to schedule work that you are paying them for, without your having to fight every inch of the way!

What is not true is that you will loose a "considerable amount of strength and function" if not repaired. He is speaking in a matter of fact that you will have difficulty turning a door knob with is simply not true. The risk of nerve damage is 15% and the minimal loss of strength for me wasn't worth the surgery as I enjoy playing the piano and I was perfectly able to do so just a week after my rupture , same goes with turning door knobs and 90% of mobility. Plus the long recovery after the surgery , pain pills and complications I'm perfectly happy with my decision not to have the surgery. People , do your research - a good place to start is with the NIH. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5213928/#CR1

This must be outdated ! I had this surgery along with tendonesis surgery and I have been in therapy since 2 weeks after surgery!

Can you still repair it after 6 months?

Fantastic video and great, easy to understand information. Thank you!

My shoulder feels like it’s coming out of the joint, is that a full tear.

I'm around 12 years post surgery. My biceps still will cramp while holding an empty pizza box. Showers are painful range of motion is extremely poor. I wouldn't recommend this surgery to anyone. I now have a large lump under my front deltoid muscle and that muscle is being pulled inward and down towards the upper peck muscle. If you are too old to have it repaired properly, I recommend you either do nothing and treat it with care/caution or just have the tendon clipped. That's my opinion based on my experience. If I could go back in time, I'd not have this procedure done. BTW, I've also lost all of my cartridge since the surgery. Until the lump developed, doctors wouldn't even look at my shoulder. They would look at the X-Ray and say that I have arthritis. I'd say, I know I do, but something else is wrong. I have lots of experience lifting weights with proper form and know how to isolate muscle groups. I as well have some education in exercise and sports science and medical training while in the Army. I know what I feel. I've found that surgeon's, are by far the most arrogant and conceited people I've ever spoken to, with horrible bed side manners. I'm paraphrasing, but my surgeon told me that he is the shoulder expert not me. Again, JMHO!

Thank you doctor. Iam post op 4 weeks.

smart guy ... if the biceps supinates the forearm ... I wonder which muscle pronates the forearm? ... this is my problem and it is related to the tennis serve

I wish someone had shown me how to adjust this thing. I've been dragging the whole thing around my ankle for a month.

Me: “Doc, I’ve got a hangnail on my index finger”. Doctor: “No problem, let’s get rid of that bothersome finger. You’ll still have nine left”.

I just had mine repaired

Thank you so much for clear instruction & illustration, with the physiological basis explained,

How about addressing the difference with the tenodesis by either suture fixation or anchored drill placement. Mine was sutured and is the safer option to help avoid fracturing of the humerus. Thank you for your videos, they are great...

Does the transverse humeral ligament not hold the tendon in place?

My concerns are: 1) from the video the tendon is moved from the cut down to where the hole is. Wouldn't that cause slack in the bicept? 2) I would think while the procedure is necessary for many the flexiblilty you would have with tendon going all they up into Labrum is superior to after the procedure. I think of an instrument and what happens to the playability of string when you shorten it. It becomes less flexible.

Just had surgery today they gave me the same exact sling. I got home. It must’ve shifted. This video was very helpful and placing it in the right area.

You are absolutely the best! Thank you, it's really good to hear this. My surgeon and I have discussed my #1 goal is return to work for the reasons you stated and so did he, that I'm still fairly young and extremely active. I'm 3 weeks post op. workers comp. Your timetable is perfect. Mine may take a little longer in that I needed to stay in the sling longer and wait to begin my ROM until 4 weeks in that my repair was massive. Full thickness Supra, partial Subscap, Decompression, Clavicle excision, Bicep tenodesis, 2 Dermal on Demand Patches. All the best and thank you so much, take care. Sincerely, Joseph
