This video features a patient testimonial four months after undergoing a subpectoral biceps tenodesis surgery to repair a degenerative type 2 SLAP lesion in the shoulder.
- The Procedure: Dr. Buford explains that the surgery involved detaching the biceps tendon from where it was torn inside the shoulder joint and reattaching it into the upper arm bone (proximal humerus) through a small incision located in the armpit area.
- Mobility & Recovery: The patient reports doing great, having regained most of his shoulder motion and a significant amount of his strength. He successfully demonstrates his mobility during the appointment, including lifting his arm fully and confirming he can perform biceps curls without any trouble.
- Current Status: The doctor examines the surgical scar, noting it has healed incredibly well and is barely visible. The patient mentions he is officially done with physical therapy and, aside from some very minor, occasional cramping, he is doing significantly better than he was before the surgery.
