Your type of repair is similar but I believe the endobutton is stronger and more suited for earlier ROM… that might be why the conservative approach your Ortho is taking. Whatever you do, don’t tear those sutures. Best of luck on the recovery!
90 degree lock for 4 weeks? Yikes. Did you get an Endo Button? Every Ortho seems to have different protocols. I ended up taking advice from my PT and Ortho, but managed my own rehab.
I followed their ROM exercises and ditched the brace after week 3… which they tested me and started me at a...
A few pics of pre-op right biceps, left for comparison. Arms were a little over 18” before the mishap.
Looking to be back at full strength by April, Lord willing.
i won’t ever buy another American vehicle personally… if I was going to drop 25k, It would be on a used M something… having driven a few bimmers, I can’t go back. I don’t care who’s driving… the most modded stang can’t do this……
Not to raise the stress level back up brother, but it’s only getting started. Just wait till all the spending comes around and inflation becomes stagflation and you’re paying eight dollars a gallon for gas while we’re losing jobs out of the ass meanwhile Biden wants you to get a Covid shot that...
Yeah it’s done. Don’t wait, if this is workers comp then they’ll eventually reimburse you for out of pocket and/or using your own insurance. I went to an Ortho on call the same day, MRI the next, and within a week my chosen doctor was operating. You have about a 2 week window to get...
Yeah the left hand wipe took me a few goes to get used to… showering is challenging…
I’ve met a few folks that didn’t get surgery after a full rupture and they don’t regret it, but then again they’re not lifters. How much deficit do you have in that arm man? Or was it a partial tear and it...
Oh yeah, you’re in for some fun. See my thread in the injury forum…. You’ll be able to do some things, but it’s not worth risking tearing the distal tendon 2x.
Sounds like a setup with LEO coming at me… I’m going to said mate’s abode before the fuzz arrives, tossing that weapon (wiped down) right back at him and he’s lucky I don’t empty a mag for setting me up:..
6 days post-op. Doctor said all is well, surgery was a great success. 90degree brace and sling ditched in favor of a custom splint. Couldn’t be happier, sling was killing me.
My repair is allowing me to start at a 40 degree angle, with 10 degree adjustments every week moving forward. Doc...
20 years flys by… I’ll never forget. So many have forgotten that patriotism we all had. So many good people lost, so many true heroes died that day and in the decades after… so sad to see America today.
