I've had 12 years of pain and gone to different doctors and it's gotten worse and I finally went to a foot and ankle doctor and he's the one that suspects labral tear based on my imaging now I'm going for an MRI. Crossing my fingers that I can do something about this unbearable pain

I didn't have it but the pain is minimal and I can still do all my exercises including yoga. Thank you. ❤

Is there any treatment for Polio affected leg? My big toe is paining a lot from 2 years and now its not allowing me to stand also. Doctors told me that we cant fusion it as my entire weight and walking is balanced on the big toe. Stem cell injection not worked Please reply me. Thanks 🙏

Thx Dr. Garcia! Do you have extensive experience in valgus deformity ?

I just found out I have a labrum tear and arthritis. This happened 12 years ago! I’m active and am beyond happy to KNOW what the problem is and now on to surgery. Ready for life without pain and freedom to live an active life!

I broke my left-side collarbone in 2010 while I was about 14. It was right in the middle and considered malunion. I was taken to the ER and they recommended me to just use a sling. I regret it not having surgery. At the time, my family was not in the best spot financially, but if I knew the amount of constant pain I have to endure thru the left side of my neck, near my scapula, my traps, and even right under my collarbone. It has been 14 years later and I'm hoping that corrective surgery is still a possibility for me. I would love to go thru my day without constantly adjusting my neck, my back and those areas I've described. On top of that, it's a structural problem. Meaning, it is hard to maintain good posture throughout the day since my left shoulder naturally wants to droop forward due to my collarbone. Sleep is even starting to become a problem. I mean, the body is all connected. If the body suffers something that causes a postural problem, why don't they recommend more surgeries? To be fair, I am still functional. I am able to perform 23 pull-ups, rock climb, and still maintain my agility and athleticism. However, this constant pain is more like a constant mental stressor. Can anyone else relate?? Did any of you get corrective surgery years later? If so, did it make it better? I've gone to physical therapy. Strengthening muscles will only help so much when my structure is working against me.

I like happy stories

Excellent work Dr. Garcia, and Alycia!! Superb outcome, and it's great to hear the before (so typical) and after, and especially see her in the hallway! I was in the same boat as Alycia, but 59 when I had both legs straightened in late Jan. and late Mar. 2023 (a year and a half ago at the time of writing this. I'd had bowed legs all my life and the medial compartments of both knees were paper thin gaps. I was still a very "aggressive" mountain bike rider, and long distance trail runner, running and riding mostly year round, as training for running rim-to-rim and rim-to-river at the Grand Canyon several times a year. The year round pain, and amount of recovery time needed between runs was steadily increasing, and in early 2023, the searing stabbing pain at night became unbearable. I was no longer able to sleep more than about 45min at a time, before being awakened by what was sometimes so much pain that I just couldn't stand it. X-rays and a visit with a local Ortho earned me a, "There's no way you're still a runner, let alone ran in the Grand Canyon a week before these x-rays were taken." I opted for stem cell with PRP injections in both knees, using my own stem cells, and after 10days of "not doing anything," I returned to training significantly improved, and ran 2 more times at the Grand Canyon in Aug/Oct. Meanwhile, I learned about HTO, sought out a specialist in Walnut Creek, CA, and started the prep for the 2 surgeries. I opted not to be over-corrected. My right Tibia was opened 18mm and my left, similar. Both legs are one inch longer now. I trained hard, right up to the first surgery, and ate/supplemented specifically to grow bone fast. I was driving at 3 weeks, walked for the 1st time on day one of week 4, and x-rays taken that day showed that I had completely filled in the 18mm gap. (I had bone taken from my Pelvis as bone graft material). I did my own PT. Middle of week 5 I put away the crutches for good, and was back to training on the mtb, on the same rugged climbing trails that I normally ride and run on. My Ortho has never seen anyone recover so fast, or grow bone so fast. He moved my 2nd surgery up by 2 months, so I trained hard in week 6 and 7, right up to a day before the 2nd surgery. I healed the 2nd leg a week earlier in all phases, as compared to the first leg, and ran 150m on a track, at 90 days post-op on the 1st, and 4 weeks post-op on the 2nd surgery. I returned to real trail running, which for me is up and down our 3 local 1,200-1,400' peaks, on June 1st. By mid-July I was running 13.6mi using all 3 peaks, every other day. I celebrated my 60th, mid-Aug, by running my 11th R2R at the Grand Canyon, and did it as a marathon distance, instead of the normal 24mi. After that run, I worked on my trail racing fitness and speed, and raced a trail Half, with almost 3,000' of vert, in early Sept. and placed 3rd overall. Training continued and I ran R2R as a speed run, and again as a marathon distance, the first weekend in Oct. and raced another trail Half, with 2,400' vert in early Nov. and placed 1st overall. I had the plates removed in early Dec. 2023 (10-1/2mos / 8-1/2mos post-op), and returned to trail running 3 weeks later. I celebrated 1yr post-op on the first leg, by returning to downhill skiing, in late Jan 2024 and skied 8 times in as many weeks. I still ski like a teen, and have large, heavy Atomic skis. A ski day is a training day, so I'm hot-lapping on the mountain, and only come off to go to the bathroom. I just ran another speed run at the Grand Canyon in May 2024 and posted a vid to my channel. I videod my recovery process and have a series of videos on my channel that may help others who are considering the surgery and have questions about what it's like, what the recovery process is like, and what's possible post re-alignment.

I took my mother to the doctor, he took the xray and said that its not that much/severe but then just siggested TKR. Not why and how that doctor just suggested such a big procedure so easily makes me wonder why they dont other things?

I am unable to take narcotics and am terrified about recovery.

How long the new meniscus last??

Slipped and fell on wet floor . Non displaced hairline fracture on the dorsal aspect of the radius and the Ulna too. No cast just a splint.

Bone spurs are not helping

Hip impinchment sucks

I had hip arthroscopy 5 months ago for FAI Impingement which caused a labral tear. 2 anchors were needed for the labrum and bone was shaved back. My original symptom was a sharp groin pain and i still have those symptoms 5 months after. What could be causes for this continued sharp stabbing type pain?

I had both my knees done...The worst pain ever...Meds and ice helped a bit...I went for physio 3x weekly...Did my exercises at home faithfully...Worked through the pain crying...Overall i have absolutely no more pain on both knees...Please do your exercises and physio or you will still have pain and cant straighten your leg properly

I had THR w spinal. Somehow it wore off and I woke up screaming bloody murder. Anesthesiologist looking down at me w a frown on his face. I couldnt get any details from them about this though. Makes me nervous about having a TKR.

Thank you for sharing this. I'll be having surgery soon and really hate not being able to exercise for many weeks but it will be worth it.

I recently had a MC accident where I fractured my distal clavicle. My MD opted to not surgically repair my injury, as the bone is still in line and he felt that it would heal without intervention. I'm 5 weeks out, doing one last follow-up here in a week. The pain is subsiding and my arm and shoulder seems to be functioning somewhat normally. I am not trying to over stress that side. I'm nervous that I may have injured my shoulder as well; time will tell. Great presentation and explanation of this particular injury. The Proliance physicians in Puyallup have taken great care of my ortho needs over the years; Kudos to you guys!

It has been a year since my labrum was repaired. 3 months off work because my job is physical many mo ths if pt months before I could hike and I'm still having issues, primarily with muscles abductors hip flexors, hamstring. In some ways the pain is much better but the muscle flareups are so aggravating. I did my due diligence and found the best surgeon in my state and still feel I'll need a hip replacement some day. Problem is i have the same issue on the other side and don't want to go through this again. Any suggestions?

I will need mine replaced in about 5-10 years..and I'm currently only 35 years old.

Dr. Shapiro did both my SLAP 3 shoulder surgeries and I have full mobility in each. I highly recommend him

Can the repair be leveled like the other arm. It doesn't look like the other arm?

I do have a Collar bone fracture and it's been 8 weeks now I have not seen a Doctor...! What is my faith?

Excellent ! You have explained it very well and I feel there is hope since I just got diagnosed with a labral tear on a MRI. My hip pain has been going on for two years and I was told it was bursitis back then

Commercials

Most informative video on this i have seen. Thank you.

Hi l am on my second knee replacement, despite what my Surgeon said my second knee replacement was even better then the first,l am a 72 year old fairly fit woman living in Somerset , England U.K. My advice to others get your BMI under 30 ,do your physio from day one and use ice pacs to get the swelling down,swim and do a couple of miles walking about 4 weeks after the operation,take pain killers at night to help with sleep….

My son broke his collarbone 2 days ago (Thursday night)but the ortho will not see him until Monday morning. I don’t understand why he won’t see him sooner than that. He was just given a sling at the ER.

Is it really worth the risks of surgery, anesthesia, incapacitation, severe pain for a long time, constipation from meds, minimul help at home, log painful recovery, etc... for a senior who may live only a few more years ? Living with the way it is may be the easier route?

There is no discussion of what the pros an cons of both options are.

Funnest?

Perfect thanks

Not enough specificity as how you repair labrum, prognosis and tgerapy

Dr. Peterson is awesome. I have had shoulder surgery and extremely happy with the results. He is very thorough not quick to throw you under the knife. I would 100% trust him to care for me.

How long was the recoveryP

I am a very active 70 yr old (former triathlete and avid street runner) who HAD severe PF pain on both knees due to very bad patella tracking and wear...prob the result of medial/lateral quad imbalance and weak VMO. I am quite fit and the from xrays, the meniscus and other compartments were in good/very good shape. I was therefore a good candidate for PF replacement. I had this done on BOTH knees 3 wks ago. I have been very happy with my progress and I believe my recovery has been far easier than if I had 2 total replacements. If you are a good candidate for this (not everyone is), I would highly recommend it.

I begged the hospital to fix mine and they refused. He reckoned it would heal in perfect alignment and now has been causing alot of problems for me and seems to be malunion’d.. i lack endurant strength and hence i ended up crashing head on into a wall in which the exhaustion of my clavicle caused the accident 3 weeks ago, and apart from this i have numerous issues with it completely seperate from this event in which was the event i finally realised that something is really wrong with it. yet everyone is telling me it’s fine despite the shortness, twisting, pain, completely abnormally healed.. I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow with my new xray of it and asking to be referred for it to be fixed when it should have been fixed in the first place. It’s now 3 years later… I’m not sure what I’m gonna be experiencing with getting it surgically fixed and i really hope they agree to it…. Cuz i cant use it properly and it’s really upsetting me honestly cuz i wanna do things i love and i can’t to the degree i want to and i dont want it to be like this for the rest of my life.. 3 yrs on is my clavicle going to be very hard to fix? because the surgeon refused to fix it and reckoned it was only sitting the way it was cuz the muscles were apparently tight seeing as i actually came off my scooter with alot of force coming down a hill with wet wheels and hence hit the ground in which is why it was sitting the way it was in the xray when i broke it. I’m angry cuz it could have been fixed back then and i feel that doctor was so ignorant and stupid, and now I’m suffering the consequences of it. They didnt even give me physiotherapy. He said i didnt need it. 😤😭😖🤬

One day I want to see research on the role of infection in joint degradation. I feel infection is at the root cause of most joint problems problems

I'm diagnosed as OA and suggested hip replacement, kindly help🙏

Appreciate the information ℹ️👍

Thank you for this informative video. You seem like a kind and compassionate doctor... I have been having hip pain on and off probably for a year or so. Finally the pain was debilitating. Went to orthopedist who kind of fluffed me off and said "its muscular- take some Tylenol." I insisted upon getting an MRI which shows tears in labrum and a tear in the greater trochanter. I also have a cam deformity which from what I have read might have caused the tears to begin with. The internet beats an encyclopedia, but there is so much information and I am not a doctor. I guess I won't know anything until I go back to the orthopedist. Here is my guess-- if I were younger, a surgical repair where they could shave down the bone and repair the labrum would be the plan. Since I am in my 60s, ultimately it will be a hip replacement. But I would first like to maybe get a steroid shot and see if that gives me some relief. Wish me luck- I have an appt with doc next week...

Hello doctor.. my right collar bone broken 13 may and 14 may a surgery of collar bone and fixation a titanium plate.and my scapula also fracture..after 45 days I got physiotherapy but my hand don't have full movement and I have some pain..! After one year I have to removed the plate or not please reply

Joint replacement is a failed treatment for OA.Skeleton is cut which means it can never be repaired by implants.I am a enlightened patient of B/L Tkr since May 2015 and life is loving hell.

😊 *Promo sm*

Is there an age limit of when you would do the surgery? My PT person said after the age of 40 doctors won’t do the hip surgery… only replacement and I really don’t want to do that.

I am 38, I was born with dysplasia on both sides (right more flagrant) and was treated when I was a baby. Last 4 years, I have been living in pain. I have had arthroscopic labrum repair on my right side 2 years ago. Following the same on my left side, which didn’t work so I had to have labrum reconstruction with a tendon from my left leg (so I can not lift very much anymore). Pain is much less but still there. Long walks became a distant dream… in the mean time, because of walking wrong, I have developed other problems in my back and in my spine. However doctors still hesitate to give me a prosthetic. How much do you think it shall continue?

Hello Doctor. Are you able to take on Canadian failed hip labral repair.. I have lost stability anf falling.. if tbe femur is dropped out... would this cause impingement on Obturator N

I’m 61, have impingement w/ labrum tear, hip orthopedist told me arthroscopy to fix the tear is a useless surgery at my age, had I been in my 40’s that would be another story, otherwise it’s a replacement for me.
