Question for those who’ve torn their pec or experienced other significant gym injuries

Yes, the inlay in some form of poly something. However if Doc can salvage the existing area he will preform a ream and run. He does not want to do reverse due to fully intact rotator cuff. But I have heard that too about no restrictions.
Hopefully he can ream it but if not I will not have weight restrictions but I run the risk of the “cement” holding the inlay in place coming loose. But they are much stronger and have a caged design to allow bone to regrow in them just sat they do the short stemmed humoral head. Will be using Stryker or Anika components which we too will be discussing. Either way he knows I will not stop my career on a fire truck and not gonna stop banging in the weight room. If it has to be redone then so be it. Just need 5 more years till my 30 year are up and I retire.

Anatomically correct short stem total shoulder with Glenoid inlay. I’m only 47 no soft tissue damage. Last X ray late 2023. Kinda speaks for itself.

This is what my wife had done. (Dr. Kelly was her surgeon and helped design the artificial shoulder joint, she is part of a “study”.) had it done about 9 months ago and she recovered 100% of her strength and mobility . . . but . . . she was all in, did all the work and then some.

Wow, to be part of a study is awesome. Glad to hear she’s doing well.. I will be all in regarding the recovery too, whatever it takes. This will be my 6th operation all this same Dr. Both knees, left shoulder, and 3rd on right shoulder. The surgeon I use worked for the Carolina Panthers for years and was the man who repaired Thomas Davis‘s panthers linebacker torn Achilles, who came back and performed exceptionally well after such an injury. I have always been better after all my procedures with him. Top-notch in North Carolina. As a firefighter my career rides on this and I refuse to come off the truck.

Great news on ALL your rehabs. You have been put thru the ringer and you could probably teach rehab so I predict clear sailing for you. This is not your first safari.

Me thinks you an are extremely good hands. Now comes the most difficult part . . . the waiting game as you know.

Funny story. My wife have a slap tear (a torn labrum) years ago. She’s went to a top orthopedic in SF (worked for the 49ers) when she’s was working at the time.

After examining her he turned to and said “You left weights don’t you?” (A rhetorical question.) I of course. (I was at my biggest, was hard to mis.) He said “I will be seeing you too down the road, mark my word.” Thinking sure . . . he turned out to be right as much as I hate to admit.

As chronicled in prior post, my shoulder is pretty much fucked and I am in the process of in-fuckng it and is working and it is working.

I wish you a full and quick recovery which know you are capable of.

Haha that’s funny!!! Been put through the wringer for sure here. Something else that’s funny now that you mention the 49ers. The head physical therapist at my local hospital, who always offers his services to me for free, used to be with the 49ers in the late 2000’s too.lol
I appreciate your kind words, waiting is killing me!!! I hope you’re able to un-fuck your shoulder

Yes, that’s too funny. Ask him if he did some work got UCSF. Timing is about right.

My shoulder is in-fucked for now, pain free unless I start doing weighted dips and press being the neck (I think that was kiss of death). Never a bench presser for long enough to avoid the inevitable injuries associated with this terrible exercise, needless, exercise (unless you are a PL.)

Tore my tricep 1,5 years ago, only 1 head was still attached and the tendon was not retracted. Didn’t need surgery thank god, but you do see it a lil bit that the tricep has a higher insertion now.

After 3 weeks I was back in the gym only training 1 side. Recovery time was about 4 months the doc said, I started slowly putting load on the tricep again after 3 months. Very very slowly built up the load each week, like micro weight built up. I still do avoid some exercises now, like Benchpress or dumbbell press. It just feels ‘weird’. I just use a lot more machines and cables now then before.

Tore both rotator cuff tendons in both shoulders. No surgery just very slow rehab. Still a little issue with range of motion on right side. but training is going well.
