This video covers a six-month post-operative checkup for a patient who had an arthroscopic shoulder reconstruction to treat chronic shoulder instability caused by a torn labrum.
- Before Surgery: The patient shares that his shoulder had been frequently popping out of its joint for over three years. He estimates that it dislocated well over 100 times before he finally had the surgical procedure to repair it.
- Mobility Check: Dr. Buford has the patient perform several upper body movements to evaluate his recovery. He tests the shoulder's range of motion both while the patient is sitting up and while he is lying down.
- Current Status: The patient demonstrates excellent range of motion during the mobility tests and notes that he is no longer experiencing any pain or discomfort when extending his arm.
