SURGERY FOOTAGE WARNING - this video contains arthroscopic video footage of a shoulder surgery, discretion is advised for some viewers.

Many have been asking for it, so here is the clip from my shoulder course explaining some of the stages of a rotator cuff repair via the arthroscopic camera vision. I was lucky enough to have the legend Assoc. Prof Dr. Simon Tan operating on my shoulder - and he gave me this footage to show you all the procedure internally.
There are 5 clips in this showing the cuff foot-bed preparation, swivelock anchor screws and the fibre sutures
It is rather remarkable how so much can be done in such a small space and with such great results.

Have a look at the pink / red capsule I have showing the very real, frozen shoulder.
In my surgery I also had a bursectomy, acromioplasty and a long head of biceps tenodesis - PLUS frozen shoulder pre and post-operatively.

You can also see how important it is to WAIT after surgery to let things heal, repair and fuse into bone before you load the shoulder, as well as how 'natural' and actually positive (but not essential) a frozen shoulder complication can be on the final outcome and long term success of the repair.
