Question 1

does a partial tear of the anterior tulofibular ligament heal itself?

Accepted Answer

Tear of ATFL: With appropriate immobilization , bracing and rehabilitation it should heal in majority of cases.

Question 2

can going on a very bumpy road cause a placenta tear if you have anterior placenta?

Accepted Answer

Anterior placenta: The pregnancy is well protected in general, and a "bumpy road" will not affect it even with an "anterior placenta".  However, if you have vaginal bleeding, see your OB provider immediately, as sometimes a "placenta previa" may be the origin of the bleeding.  The stage/date of your pregnancy would be useful information.

Question 3

please tell me, could a near complete tear of the anterior talofibular heal back together & how long would this take?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Depending on treatment would take 8-10 weeks.

Question 4

is it possible to have a partial anterior labrum tear in shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Shoulder : Yes , one can continue to function with a partial label tear.You can rehab with a good shoulder physiologist. Find a good shoulder specialist to monitor your progress

Question 5

is it possible to have an anterior labrum tear without ever  dislocating your shoulder?

Accepted Answer

Labrum injury: With a dislocation, a labral injury called a Bankart lesion or a bony Bankart occurs. However, labral injuries can happen from several types of injuries that include falling on an outstretched hand, violent pulls of the shoulder, etc. Here is some information from the AAOS.

Question 6

docs, could a near complete tear of the anterior talofibular heal back together? what's the timeframe?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Approximately two months. Assuming you follow doctors instructions.

Question 7

i have a 9 mm full tear of supraspinatus tendon. in the anterior footplate. is surgery needed? assuming so. anything i should know?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes....: 9mm tear still means that the other half (posterior) of your supraspinatus is intact.  If the pain is minimal and you can avoid overhead activity then you can wait and see if it fully tears before you undergo surgery.  Some would say that eventually it will completely tear so better just to get it over with now.

Question 8

hello, my mri shows a "small incomplete bursal surface tear at its anterior attachment site." any idea how long that takes to heal? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Depends on site: of injury: 4-6 weeks is very realisitic.

Question 9

rotator cuff have bilateral full thickness tear 10mm anterior to posterior and 11 mm medial to lateral is this surgery painful does this mean 2 tears?

Accepted Answer

Is it painful?: Not every documented rotator cuff tear is painful so surgery may not be indicated. Has a conservative approach been tried e.g. Rehab for two or more months? You are basically describing one tear. Discuss with your orthopedic surgeon your options.

Question 10

can a 5mm tendon retraction of a full thickness tear of the anterior and middle portion of the supraspinatus tendon heal with injections and pt?  if not, would pt help before surgery?

Accepted Answer

Opinions: You need to obtain orthopedic surgical consultations as full healing and return to normal is NOT going to occur with injections and PT, but you could also learn to live with this without invasive approaches.  Do fully agree that PT will help before and after surgery.
