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...
My Dr. was very clear about my not getting in the water until after the sling was off, and then no pulling with that arm until OKd by PT. I don't have any advice about the incision site. Mine is still a little tingly 6 mo after surgery.
