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

"MRI confirmed probable labrum lesion"

Just highlighting that from the OP because one ortho who examined my 2017 son when he was being diagnosed for a shoulder injury during his HS freshman year said that as great as MRIs, sonograms, and xrays are, there is too often only one way to confirm what's going on, and that is surgery.

While my kid did not have SLAP tear, this advice may be helpful: go to the ASMI forum and ask Dr. Fleisig to recommend an ortho in your area. He will respond very quickly with recommendations of doctors who have trained with Dr. Andrews. We ended up seeing a Kaiser ortho who had trained at Andrews Sports Medicine extensively and he shared my son's MRI with doctors there in making his diagnosis.
