I had this op, all of it, 8 years ago, it saved my career! when your offered something stronger than human ligaments, its an upgrade :) Thank you Mr Funk for fixing me, i'm still bouncing around the world, hope your well my friend
Hi man, I'm glad it worked out for you that well, I had an AC joint tear (grade III) doing pull ups. I was wondering, with this kind of surgery do you think I will be able to train again with confidence that It'll hold or is it more like a middle point? thanks
@@julittok it sucks no one answered your question. I'll just answer it for those curiously reading this thread. Without a doubt you'll be back to your full without/ lifting capability within six months. Take it very easy and follow doctors orders. If you over do it too soon you risk fracturing the coracoid or clavicle and possibly a failure of the repair.
@@miker.5495 Thanks man I appreciate that you took the time to answer. I never went through with the surgery but I got back to lifting after a few months. It's been 5 years and although nothing is the same as before I can do most types of movements. Rotator cuff exercises are mandatory, they help a lot so stabilize the joint.
I had this surgery 2.5 years ago. I love the simplicity, and the results. I still have some very temporary pain if I sleep on that side too solidly, but mostly it's fine.
@@zingo2664 initially they said 2, but it didn't get better, so they said 3. On the day of surgery, the surgeon said 4. So in the space of 6 months between injury and surgery I went up two grades!
@@zingo2664 or grade five or six. Orthos here in the US are divided on whether or not to operate on grade three separations. I had a grade three repaired on my left shoulder about twenty years ago and believe it's the only choice for anyone who is active. I've been lifting since high school and it's a part of my life that i thoroughly enjoy. I have not had any issues at all with my repaired left shoulder in the twenty plus years since the repair. I'm in my early forties now and have just suffered a grade three on my right shoulder. I'm crossing my fingers that I find an ortho willing to surgically repair it

Had this done yesterday. Just waiting to see what the out come is going to be like
So what do you think of the repair? Any issues with the shoulder?

did you have a 3 or 4 grade injury ?

would love to know why the whole country hasnt adopted this technique??
Because there are many other techniques that also work well. No technique is perfect.
@@LennardFunk a good option for those suffering with instability after failed other techniques?
@@TamaEnergy Yes, it is. Mine was done after a modified WD technique failed.
@@LennardFunk What's in your view pros and cons of this technique vs the LockDown?
