day 79 ac joint surgery Final Video!

Recovery still going really well. My arm is getting stronger every day. All in all I'm happy that I went with the surgery and that it worked out well.

[@sonuflex61]

Which technique you’re surgeon used in your Ac joint reconstruction ?

[@VlogEpicness]

I injured my shoulder last night. How soon should I start therapy movements.

[@courtneyjones8804]

Could you post some of your physical therapy sheets of workouts for those who are visual studious types. Thank you so much for your posts and follow ups.

Thank you for the videos man. Day 10 after surgery for me and these have helped me a lot. Specially in the early days.

How’s your shoulder now?

[@curtischerneski7426]

It’s good, would say it’s back to 100% but I still have some weird feeling in certain positions sometimes. That being said I have full mobility still can lift weights, play sports etc.

[@jacobdavies1162]

Hi Sam, I currently have a grade 3 separated shoulder and I am looking into surgery. Do you have and update for us? How are you doing now several years after the surgery? Was it worth doing? I would love some insight into this. There seems to be a lot of contradicting information online regarding shoulder separation and the best route to take for recovery. Thanks

[@mitthepirate]

I'm at day 49 I have my full range of motion back totally and I'm 37 . But I had lockdown procedure that I'd say is a more superior surgery than what you had.. Just the pain at the back of it like you say the tennis ball up the wall is helping. Anyone thinking of gettin it done go for it recovery is a bitch. But I'm nearly there. Thanks for the awesome vids my man they have helped me along the way 👌✌️✔️

[@rileyreid112]

Hey, I appreciate your videos. I suffered a grade 3 ac separation 1 week ago today and go to see the surgeon on Monday to see if we need to operate. I am 25 yrs old and very active so I speculate surgery will be necessary. I am fairly nervous but your videos have helped me out. Thanks so much for posting these!!

[@MorpheusZues]

did you have surgery on your grade 3 or not? I am 24 and separated my ac about a month ago and am debating surgery. thanks

[@Hamza-nj7iy]

Hi guys update us plz Riley how's everything going

[@rileyreid112]

Oh man, this comment is old haha. I did not end up getting surgery. I have a very large bump on my left shoulder now but my range of motion is back to normal and the old injury is not limiting me in any way. It does get sore from time to time (strangely, mainly when running) but other than that, everything has been great. I still run, mountain bike, hunt, rock climb, etc

[@Hamza-nj7iy]

I had surgery for grade 5, i still.have a bump on my shoulder, is it normal?

[@sbkazman]

Hi Dawit, good luck with the recovery! I do sometimes get clicks on my shoulder and they actually started a few weeks after i started pt. They have reduced in frequency as my shoulder has gotten stronger though. Hope that helps.

[@sbkazman]

No problem at all. I did get the end of the collarbone shaved down to prevent arthritis. The shoulder feels good though.

[@jawadbokhari1]

Sam Kazman hi, did surgeon remove the bursa as well?

[@Time_In1]

I’m going in Monday for the suture under the wing knuckle procedure to hold my ac down god bless

[@mikejack3534]

I had my ac joint separation back in 2019 in a motor cycle accident it never recovered itself so I had surgery in the pervious 4 months and it separated again after month of the surgery. I don't even know what should I do right now Im very done whis this.

[@sbkazman]

Hi isidracofly, i had two screws put in that will dissipate into my bone eventually. I also had a ligament graft from a cadaver.

[@ivanbosnjak9240]

bro,how is your arm doing now and how does the scar looks like?

[@sbkazman]

Ivan Bošnjak hey man. the arm is still doing well. my arm is pretty strong now, maybe 80-90% of what it was. the only lyndsey thing that has set me back is playing squash which has quick snapping motions. the scar is still there and a little less noticeable but I think it looks kind of cool haha.

[@ryandavis8206]

i sky dive for a living and my grade 3 has really been giving me issues lately. i plan to stay active for as long as i can and want to continue my career. do you thing getting the surgery was the right decision in the long run?

[@sbkazman]

Ryan Davis I be it it is tough with the harness pulling on your shoulder but I hope you can find a way to work with it. I went with the surgery because I wanted by anatomy to be as close to "normal" as possible. hopefully thats best in the long run but it's only been 8 months so we will see!

[@Sooper_Dad]

Sam - I had this surgery recently and I'm about 2 months into my recovery. Do you remember when you were two months into YOUR recovery if you had a lot of cracks and pops internally. I have a great mobility and flexibility in the shoulder, but it pops and cracks a lot. The PA I visited said I'm only halfway there, and that I probably am just feeling a lot of scar tissue from the time in the sling. Your thoughts?

[@tonytaf107]

I got surgery for nearly 3 months. It didnt come back exactly in place, I still have a bump, not to big but it isnt like amazing.

[@alexp9963]

Videos have been great thank you, how are you now and have you fell on to your shoulder at all since the surgery?

[@dirtymikendaboys]

Thanks for the videos, just did the same thing snowboarding yesterday, and like you I am very active, so I think I will go through with surgery. Your videos addressed a lot of concerns and ?'s I had... Thanks again 👍

[@arturcuryllo5832]

Did you do it? Dogbone and tightrope with allograft by Arthrex? If so, how do you feel now? I am up next to get it done. Motocross is fun... until this happens.

[@nolanspoerl8686]

Hey Sam, had the surgery done 12 weeks ago. Currently my mobility is pretty good, but my stability still isn’t that great. Still have clicking/popping noises in the joint but little pain after working out. Was this normal for you? Thanks for your videos!

[@tonysantilli8058]

Hey Nolan, are you still experiencing these symptoms??

[@iandevendorf5382]

should wait at least 6 months before lifting weights

[@adampampalon3840]

Hey buddy today was 2 months post surgery for me and the range is almost 100% except i do hear a lot of popping and clicking when im raising and lowering my arm. Most of the pain i feel now isnt even from the ac joint, its from my deltoid muscle. When i make the motion of throwing a ball, that rotation is painful for the deltoid, no pain in the ac joint which is strange. I've been using the lacrosse ball to try and massage my shoulder but its really painful and numbs my arm. I think the muscles are just really tight. If i raise my arm straight and laterally and twist it like i was pouring out a glass of water, the pain i feel is all in my deltoid. Not sure if thats normal, but atleast the ac joint isnt in any pain whatsoever

[@nolanspoerl8686]

@@adampampalon3840 Yeah I had the same thing. The deltoid is weak and tight from being in the sling for so long. It just needs more time. Keep doing the exercises. I was back lifting weights about 6 months after the surgery. Going to the gym 3-4 days a week now. I am 8 months post op and the only issues I'm having are with bench press. There is non-painful clicking when I do weighted presses. Pushups are fine and Shoulder weighted press feel surprisingly normal. I just have to modify my workout routine and not overdo it on the chest press stuff. I have had some pain in the surgical area after doing too much heavy pressing.

[@adampampalon3840]

@@nolanspoerl8686 Hey Nolan! I cant tell you how much i appreciate talking to someone that has been through this. It has been one of the most difficult times of my life. For someone as active as me, its been torture not being able to do the things i love. I really hope you feel 100% in the future, i know how frustrating it is. Im living it too. Cant thank you enough for responding. Please, at any point in your life, if you ever feel 100% come back here and update me. Thank you so much

[@bentchow]

Thanks for the video. I had an allograft reconstruction 3 weeks after grade 5 separation injury. I'm probably pushing PT to the extremes because I can do push ups on knees (arms will shake), 15 lbs dumbbell presses and running 2-3 miles. The bouncing on the shoulder will definitely make my shoulder sore the rest of the day. My injury happened at the snow park while snowboarding. If I can play tennis at day 79 like you, I would be super happy...

Hey Sam did you feel a lot of tightness in your shoulder muscles 3 months after surgery. I had a grade 5 operated on 13 weeks ago and I'm still having a lot of pain and stiffness in the muscles around the shoulder. I however did wait 2 years to get surgery so idk if its taking longer to heal cause I waited so long or what.

[@isidracofly]

hi Dawit how's your shoulder after surgery. You have made the surgery as you told me. They have taken a tendon from the knee. It hurts your knee ?? where they operated?

[@isidracofly]

thanks David of your answer. I hope you always go better with your shoulder Also I'll have to work on my left shoulder. I wanted to ask you if you take any medication to prevent rejection of the tendon problems ??

[@arturcuryllo5832]

@Dawit Mulat How are you now at 2 years out? I am headed into this surgery and comparing comments by people who operated on it right away versus many months out, the healing and recovery seems much quicker if you operate early.

[@arturcuryllo5832]

@Dawit Mulat Thank you for the extensive comment! Yes, nutrition is not a problem here - greens and collagen daily for me, injury or not. Do you mind telling me if you had the dogbone/string/allograft surgery? It seems to me that the system by Arthrex makes the most sense mechanically. Do you also mind sharing the name of your doctor? I am looking at Rush Ortho in Chicago and there are two doctors who do this surgery regularly. Were you grqde 3 separation or higher? Thanks!

[@arturcuryllo5832]

@Dawit Mulat What a great and caring comment! I can't thank you enough! I absolutely agree with everything you said!

[@GGGGProd]

Hi, I had the same surgery but with a artificial ligament instead. But my colarbone is way to low due too reduction during surgery with tightrope and 5 mm lower than acromio Does it go up with time?

[@ivanbosnjak9240]

i had tightrope as well, did you have arthroscopic or open surgery?

[@GGGGProd]

Open. But I will need a second surgery because the tightrope is too small. And the clavicle is too low. It is about 6 months now and because of that I canùt move only 50% and it hurts when more because of extra contact. So they will rmove it and shave the clavicle... I hope the result will be good after.

[@ivanbosnjak9240]

Did the scar go longitudinaly or perpendicular on the direction of clavicle? I am a doctor. Didnt they do x ray few weeks after your surgery to see how everything holds?

[@GGGGProd]

Same kind of scar than the video. They took x ray but the surgeon said it was right but I went to few others that confirm the mistake... Plus the xray report told that the clavicle was way too low to the acromio. This is a hyperrduction. So the tight rope need to be removed.

Btmotorcross I'm having the exact same problem. Surgery went great but something changed and now I have pain and a bone showing again. If I hold it down I have no pain reaching forward. Braces help alot but I don't want to wear them forever. I called the doctor again last week, waiting on a call back. The last few visits he thinks it's fine, ITS NOT!! Needs to be tightened up I believe..

[@hectordquintana]

Hi MKS Turbo!, I had the same surgery and the same problem. Only after 2 weeks of the surgery, the bump where my collarbone pops sudenly appeared again. What happened to you, did they tightened it up again or something bro? I'm starting to wonder if I should get the screws tightened up again? Hope they don't need to be tightened again, surgery was way to stressing and care demanding. Greetings from Mexico
