[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 16353834, member: 45161"] I had a catastrophic shoulder injury at the end of '08. I had a severe dislocation that tore all of the tendons when it dislocated and when the shoulder slammed back into place it broke/fractured some of the surrounding bones. The most attached tendon in my shoulder was 90% detached along with an additional few hours in surgery clearing out the "arthritis of a 90 year old" according to my surgeon. I also had some fractured bones that were grafted back together somehow (it's been a while so I don't remember the specifics). At the time I was still actively making my living through sports and recovery time was 1 full year. 99.9999% of physical therapists out there are completely incompetent so that's going to be your bottleneck. I've been in and out of physical therapists for 20 years for various injuries and it took me a long time to find a facility that did good work. I'd say I've been to 20 some odd therapists over 3 states and only found one that is competent. Keep in mind I'm not using the word competent lightly. Had I gone directly to my staffed therapist I would have had a 6 month recovery. My team surgeon asked that I use his therapists and it was a disaster. My surgeon was a rock star, his therapy team was not. I dumped them when the 1,000 year old lady next to me was doing the same theraband exercise as I was. All of that to say that therapy will determine your success. My normal therapists are very aggressive and that makes all the difference with every injury I have. As far as the surgery went I wish I ignored the doctors that told me going in to clear out debris and arthritis would cause too much scar tissue to be worth it. They were full of shit. [/QUOTE]
