Although I had a bicep tender repair, I continued to have somewhat of a Popeye effect bicep, which appears shorter at the connecting area towards the inner elbow area then my other arm. What could be the cause of reason for this?

Although I had a distal bicep repair, I continue to have a somewhat “Popeye” bicep affect. What could be this cause and reason?

Amazingly helpful. I have my firs ever surgery on Friday and you gave me so much confidence. God our Lord, bless you!

Excellent, thank you , very useful explanation

Had surgery on 10/21. My RC surgery took 5.5 hours (was initially thought that would take 2.5) The hospital sent me home with a sling that had no padding at the forearm and no waist belt. Kind of feel like I’m missing out on the better sling and may alter my recovery. Your thoughts?

Excellent!! I sent it to my ortho surgeon who's operating on my Longhead Bicep Tendon tomorrow afternoon 24 October 2024.

Thank you Doctor!

Is it painful?

Thank you, Doctor, for this comprehensive explanation. I’m researching all I can about my root tear and this is extremely helpful.🌻

Super helpful video. I'm having this surgery in a week and a 1/2. The info in particular about why we can't weightbear after compared to the traditional repair. Is that why my doctor told me it'd be 9-12 months before return to sports? (Bjj)

I’m six months and a half post up on a reverse shoulder replacement and just this past week I started having severe pain and a huge bruise on my arm. Well, I seen my orthopedic surgeon and he said that my bicep detached well I’m not very pleased I didn’t go bowling with the 16 pound bar. I did not throw a baseball or football and I didn’t do anything strenuous. Besides rake up some leaves with a plastic rake. I hate communicating it’s not worth attaching, so I’m not for sure how you can swing or lift without your bicep being attached

Is an lcl reconstruction surgery similar? (Except open vs arthroscopic?) I haven't seen many videos on it.

This was super helpful. I have a posterior horn menicus tear and wondered why the knee feels unstable. I didn't know it had been "pulled up from the bone"...that makes more sense though. Thanks for the explanation. Getting this procedure done in 3 wks

The video doesn't show how to remove the brace and put it back on. What's the best way to do those those things?

Many thanks Doctor for this video and explanation. I ruptured my long head 4 weeks ago, and MRI did confirm. My orthopedic surgeon recommended to forgo tenodesis ( I am 57 but ver active). I started PT but I still feel a bit sore and some discomfort and clicking at the shoulder joint. Should I live without my long head and keep pushing through PT? It has been a month anyways and I think it is too late to consider a surgery. I appreciate any feedback

Had this surgery two days ago. Can’t wait to get back to full strength in the coming months. Post op pain has been very manageable.

How many days after surgery are you doing these?

I wonder why my doctor said no surgery and I’m torn all the way through posterior root.

Great explanation and animation. Well done. Just had this done today. Now I fully understand the procedure. Great articulation. If a complex procedure

Does the drill through the bone close and heal, or will there always be that hollow area there?

Thank you Dr.

Thanks for sharing some medical instructions for shoulder replacement surgery, so helpful.

I had my left rotator repaired 3yrs ago, now pending an upcoming MRI on my right shoulder area, I may again need some surgery followed by several weeks of PT. This video, was extremely helpful! Thanks for posting it.

Excellent explanation thank you

The nurse didn’t know what she was doing on the sling Thanks so very much.

Would this still apply to someone that had one rt arm Rottercuff surgery for a large tear Nov 22, 2022 then scr surgery same arm June 2023, then another same arm scr surgery April 2024 I have been extra extra gently this time, thought I was before but it failed

biggest problem was getting my Orthopedic Dr., to take the injury seriously. it took two weeks after the injury to get an appointment, then we had to do an xray. another week passed while he argued that studies for individuals over 55 didn't substantiate surgery. Finally got an MRI which showed the tear with a 3.3 cm sparation. surgery was scheduled 34 days after the initial injury, with a different surgeon. I'm two days into recovery now. initial Orthopedic surgeon did my full knee replacement 17 months ago. with the exception of similar scheduling issues, he did a great job and I have no complaints. Seems that HMO's simply don't want to schedule work that you are paying them for, without your having to fight every inch of the way!

What is not true is that you will loose a "considerable amount of strength and function" if not repaired. He is speaking in a matter of fact that you will have difficulty turning a door knob with is simply not true. The risk of nerve damage is 15% and the minimal loss of strength for me wasn't worth the surgery as I enjoy playing the piano and I was perfectly able to do so just a week after my rupture , same goes with turning door knobs and 90% of mobility. Plus the long recovery after the surgery , pain pills and complications I'm perfectly happy with my decision not to have the surgery. People , do your research - a good place to start is with the NIH. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5213928/#CR1

This must be outdated ! I had this surgery along with tendonesis surgery and I have been in therapy since 2 weeks after surgery!

Can you still repair it after 6 months?

Fantastic video and great, easy to understand information. Thank you!

My shoulder feels like it’s coming out of the joint, is that a full tear.

I'm around 12 years post surgery. My biceps still will cramp while holding an empty pizza box. Showers are painful range of motion is extremely poor. I wouldn't recommend this surgery to anyone. I now have a large lump under my front deltoid muscle and that muscle is being pulled inward and down towards the upper peck muscle. If you are too old to have it repaired properly, I recommend you either do nothing and treat it with care/caution or just have the tendon clipped. That's my opinion based on my experience. If I could go back in time, I'd not have this procedure done. BTW, I've also lost all of my cartridge since the surgery. Until the lump developed, doctors wouldn't even look at my shoulder. They would look at the X-Ray and say that I have arthritis. I'd say, I know I do, but something else is wrong. I have lots of experience lifting weights with proper form and know how to isolate muscle groups. I as well have some education in exercise and sports science and medical training while in the Army. I know what I feel. I've found that surgeon's, are by far the most arrogant and conceited people I've ever spoken to, with horrible bed side manners. I'm paraphrasing, but my surgeon told me that he is the shoulder expert not me. Again, JMHO!

Thank you doctor. Iam post op 4 weeks.

smart guy ... if the biceps supinates the forearm ... I wonder which muscle pronates the forearm? ... this is my problem and it is related to the tennis serve

I wish someone had shown me how to adjust this thing. I've been dragging the whole thing around my ankle for a month.

Me: “Doc, I’ve got a hangnail on my index finger”. Doctor: “No problem, let’s get rid of that bothersome finger. You’ll still have nine left”.
