Hello everyone! I haven't been on for a while to post! I had my shoulder tendon transfer in September and I am doing well. I didn't get as much elevation as I had hoped- I started at about 15 deg before surgery and now I have about 45-50. It's continuing to improve with therapy and the pain is gone finally! haha
I have another surgical option that I am concidering and was wondering if I could get any feedback from anyone here-
Its a humeral rotational osteotomy. Basically they go in and cut through the humerus and rotate it to a new position and pin it. It will give me the "appearance" of external rotation.. and a some funtion with that, but I dont have anything to lose from it...however since it is a big surgery I am still concidering it.
Does anyone here have any info about this type of procedure??
Anyway- I hope everyone is doing well! I'll try to post some pics of my before and after surgery.... it's pretty cool!
