Reply to "Labrum Shoulder Surgery Recovery Experience -- Timelines"

Just a few questions - what does the surgeon say?  He must be offering some opinion on a date for a return to throwing?  Does he regularly do this procedure on throwers?  Do you have a PT/rehab specialist and does that person regularly work with overhead throwing athletes?

My understanding (which is fairly limited) is that ramp up time to throwing is roughly equivalent to the prescribed time where no throwing is allowed.  In other words, if the medical experts involved in his case say he can't start throwing for 3-4 months post surgery, then expect the ramp up time to be about the same.   In regards to hitting, I can't offer you much there.  I suppose it might be dependent on which shoulder in relation to which side of the plate he hits from. 

Try to google Mike Reinold, he has a lot of material out there on throwing injuries and rehab.  Each kid is different, but you might pick up some things.
