My daughter just had caps/acromio on March 1. She had the caps surgery two years ago but unfortunately, because of the boney impingement it did not last and she became dislocated again. She is still in the splint so I cannot speak on the results yet but when I take her splint off the range she is much looser and easier to range than before. Also, her shoulders look more even since the surgery. I will post when we start to see results. You can e-mail if you like.
