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...
Surgery still might not be needed
I have been swimming over a decade with a shoulder that used to fully dislocate even in my sleep. Swimming has actually prevented surgery.
However my other shoulder I did have surgery, and it took over 18 months for it to improve better than before surgery. I still have indentations (2 years later and probably will always have) where the surgeon drilled through to repair the labrum, perform the tenodesis, and chondroplasty
