  • love this video, excellant

  • Wellness Revolution? Health & Wellness was $200 billion in 2002. Today it's closer to $500 billion per year. America looks like a Third World Country where "sickness" is concerned as we spend $315 Billion on "reactive" pills in the form of pharmaceutical's that do not cure anything. Cancer? Simple, it's just like a weed, the human body is the Periodic Table, bring 90 nutrients in balance!

  • can i do this surgery at age of 17?

  • @chechemusic

    i was operated 2 weeks ago 4.4.2011. ( supraspinatus reconstruction) and of course asked surgeon about this.He said that it has no affect on that, that your shoulder would get dislocated easer because there are other structures that keep it in place ;not acromion

  • @BLENHE i have the same question!

  • @TheSuperEntertainer December 2010, after six months I was perfectly healed

  • the bone that is "shaved" from the distal clavical is done so in order to eliminate any impingment from the bone onto the cuff which could ultimately lead to a rotator cuff tear. Think of a your fingers in a completely relaxed state and how they curve downward. That downward pressure is applied to your rotator cuff causing it to tear. Now if you straighten out your fingers, that is what the surgeon is trying to achieve by resecting that portion of the bone. I hope this helps.

  • no sound

  • @powerliftingaddict A surgeon said they shave some of the bone off because when the person uses that joint the bone wears out the rotator cuff and it'll undo what they did to repair it. Hope this answers your question. 

  • wtf
