Reply to "SLAP Tear, to surgery or not..."

I TOTALLY agree with Mid... with the cases I am familiar with from kids in our HS program over the years, SLAP tears don't heal themselves and the whole PT protocol (before we consider a procedure) is BS. Do whatever it takes to get to a very good specialist quickly so he isn't burning more time at the other end of healing. Again, as Mid says, have someone who specializes in young athletes do the procedure, be faithful and diligent with prescribed post-op rest and PT. This will give your son the best chance of getting back on the field healthy for his junior year. It's a long enough road as it is. Don't allow the drag-it-out BS to continue.

Edit - was typing when BBMom posted.. not discounting the Stem Cell option at all, just saying get past the local doc/ortho "PT to see if it heals on it's own" BS.
