    Re: SAD with bicep repair PROM

    My only reply would be for the patient to allow MD to go back into shoulder. Possibly a labral tear along with biceps tendon tear.

    Should've been in his sling to begin with though!

    Re: SAD with bicep repair PROM

    Thank you for the reply. You are correct about the sling. He should not have been without the sling. The MD did not decide to repair bicep secondary to this would be the 3rd surgery and was not real positive if the bicep had been completely torn. If it was torn the patient had opted to not have another surgery secondary to he was just 2 week from surgery and patient mainly wanted bicep repair secondary to cosmetic concerns. He did not want a buldge and MD reported he would still have the strength in arm without another repair but would consider surgery at later time. The patient went for a follow up 1 week ago but he went into MD office without sling which MD said PROM until he returned to him. MD did not have much to say secondary to his noncompliance and told patient to get it moving (no restrictions).
