  • I tore my rotator cuff almost a year ago and I'v had several months of physical therapy which helped a little. But the effects wore off and i feel like I'm back to square one again and I'm in excruciating pain. I'm a teenager and i want to be able to swim competitively like i used to. Is this effective enough to allow me to swim comfortably? Also, is it safe to have if your still growing?

  • @101SpaceLover

    I have not examined you but I can tell you it's highly unusual for someone your age to have a torn rotator cuff. Your problem is more likely related to instability and/or your labrum.

    Good luck!

  • whats the white stuff...bone?

    im confused

  • To help clear things up for you,look at our other video. It shows the surgery on a model and on a real patient.

  • I had this procedure done and 4 months into P/T I still can't raise my arm above my head. healing is very slow.

  • Let me know in what town and state you live and maybe I can help you find somebody good to check you out.

  • 1. Will Cortisone shots help cure a Slap Tear (Left Shoulder) ?

    2. Would a standard MRI be able to reveal a slap tear ?

    3. Would an MRI Arthrography reveal a slap tear not revealed by a standard MRI? 

    Great video, thank you so much.

  • @pepeps Thanks! Much Appreciated! But unfortunately there is a tear on my infraspinatus visible on the MRI.

  • @pepeps I just don't understand how they made the knots?

  • Thank you for two things: Your years of hard work and dedication to your studies in Medicine and surgical repairs, and for posting this video. it certainly assists in putting to rest many questions and concerns.

  • What a mess. I'd better get serious about my stretching exercises, so this doesn't happen to me.

  • i need that surgeon
