Testimonial: 5 months s/p reconstruction of dislocating shoulder - Laterjet and SLAP repai...

This video is a 5-month post-operative testimonial featuring Dr. Don Buford and a 19-year-old patient who underwent a right shoulder reconstruction.

The patient had suffered from severe shoulder instability and frequent dislocations for two to three years following a basketball injury. To fix this, Dr. Buford performed a combined arthroscopic SLAP lesion repair and a Latarjet procedure. At five months post-op, the patient's axillary incision has healed cleanly, and he reports zero pain or instability. He demonstrates an excellent range of motion, achieving full 90-degree internal and external rotations while lying down with no signs of joint apprehension.
