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...
Rt shoulder surgery May 4: LH bicep tenodesis, extensive debridement, chondroplasty w/t 3 anchors. I feel about 60% recovered and expect a good outcome. On the other hand, my Left shoulder now needs serious repair. Years ago it would dislocate, but I managed to nurse it back to decent function through strength and swimming. Unfortunately it loosened up from daily activity while the other arm was in brace. I am relieved to have my right arm step back up and come back to life. It was frustrating trying to function with my free arm slipping around in its socket, popping, and crap. I actually look forward to fixing this one.
