Anyone familiar with this procedure??? Had it done on you???
It is used to treat biceps tendonitis of the shoulder whereby, in kinda layman's terms, the tendon is cut where it attaches into the labrum and reattached on the humerus thereby eliminating the tendon's span of the shoulder joint and hopefully, the source of its irritation/inflammation...
Love to hear from anyone who's had this done; particularly from anyone who enjoyed success with it, but I suppose I should listen to the failures too, but jeeze, I hope those are few...
yes...had it done in 2013. Labrum tears, decompression, etc.. Reattached the bicep. You'll be uncomfortable for a few weeks. Like most surgeries, work hard in rehab and extend it if you can. My recovery path was like sickfish's above. Back in water kicking , swimming one armed after a month, up to 40,000 yds a month in 3 months. Full throttle after that. It's better than new
