just had the third glenoid repair since my attempted return to masters 5 yrs ago. the first was the thermacapulorraphy- heat wand, the second 3 clips to hold it, this one 4 screws to hold it. yeah-i want to swim real bad....to go thru this for it!
anyone else have a labrum repair? success? failure?
and, to any orthopedic md/swimmers out there- is there a stroke that's less likely to loosen the labrum specifically?
note- years and years of being a butterflier is great prep for surgery...post op pain still isn't as bad as the last 75 yds of a 200- plus you can breathe!

isn't the labrum in the shoulder?
My friend had her's fixed. It was loose and didn't hold right...I think. I know that she had surgery to fix both of them, and she's doing better now. She still can't swim for about another 2 months, and after that she has to take it slow, she'll never be at the level she was. But her overall shoulder health is better and it's not affecting any of her normal functions like it was.
