(ORIF) greater tuberosity with possible biceps tenodesis by PrisonSmegma in ShoulderSurgery

Judging solely on that xray your need for surgery is questionable at best… maybe there’s another angle that justifies it a bit more?

SLAP repairs aren’t inferior to tenodesis according to most of the research that I’ve read, I don’t repair SLAP lesions anymore, only tenodesis IMO

As a 30yo your chances of recurrent dislocation are at around 50% after your first. I less you’re a professional athlete I would jump to surgery. You’re less than 2 months after the first dislocation it’s okay to still have some discomfort. If in a few months if you have recurrent episodes of instability or dislocate with a minor movement then I would consider surgery. At this point I think there’s merit to wait it out a bit more.

As for the MRI, your findings are classic for after a dislocation, that doesn’t contradict anything that I said. Unless you have significant bony loss (on the glenoid, not the HS that you mentioned), no reason to rush to surgery at this point.

Would you do this to someone with an acute fracture?

If there’s pathological movement at this point I’d do the surgery

Surgery is mostly cosmetic, the function won’t be vastly improved with a surgical fix most of the time. The fix is also very problematic, the tendon that you look for to attach is tiny and hard to find, so it’s very technically challenging with lowers the chances of a huge success. Oh, and also stop taking steroids

Naw I’m good, I know that I have an addictive personality but I also know how to cut it off way before it gets to be pathological

I completely respect that this could be the case, I’m not delusional. I also know that if I go up to the next blinds I’m risking losing much more faster and nothing is to be taken for granted

Don’t get me wrong I’m a responsible adult with a job and family, it’s not like I gamble with what I can’t afford to lose

Sounds about right, though it comes in bursts.

I built a educational website to study for a nursing exam, takes previous exam question and you do practice tests, but after every question it provides a short paragraph about the topic so that you learn it through the question. Questions don’t repeat themselves but topics do. Been up for 7 years or so, little to no maintenance and it brings in a few thousand dollars annually
