Thread: Look at this MRI

I want to find someone else that has this laundry list of shoulder issues. Read this MRI, absolute fucking train wreck.

1. Large posterior labral tear
2. Glenoid rim is destroyed
3. infraspinatus tear
4. Subscauplaris tear
5. Subluxed Biceps tendon (stuck in the form subscap fibers)
6. All resulting in a CHRONICALLY posterior dislocated shoulder.

I think the biceps. Has to be severed and anchored to the upper medial aspect of the humerous. Nothing funny about that either.

Will be completely splinted with a sling and swathe for 6 weeks minimum.

The same goes for the shoulder. Hopefully you won’t be down to long but with that damn list minimum 8 months and that’s not at 100%. But I would get that taken care of ASAP while your strong. Also don’t forget about your peptides that can aid in your recovery after the repairs. I would not let anyone talk me into not doing the repairs and go with injections to heal them.

Yeah the labrum is no joke. Its basically an extension of the glenoid, kinda like an egg on a small saucer it doesn't roll off bc of the lip of the plate which is the glenoid. But we need more stabilitybc the lip is short, so that's where the labrum comes in. Its a fibrous band that continues out from the glenoid essentially wrapping all the way around the humeral head. It acts as a basket for the shoulder to sit in and freely move, but keeps it from pulling out. Mine is trashed. Ill always be prone to dislocations with the right trauma. But if I'm careful I should be able to avoid that.

What I do want back is my range of motion and ability to adduct and train my shoulders.

Yes.... Sadly that will come later though. Too young.

I've been practicing medicine for 12 years man. But shoulder surgeries can be complicated. Knowledge is one thing but when it comes from experience its more useful. So I was hoping I could find someone who has experienced a similar issue and see how he was after the surgery.
