Accepted Answer

Maybe: Please make an appointment with the surgeon who did your hernia repair. The repair might be breaking down.

Question 2

how effective are repair operations of lingual nerve damage from impacted wisdom tooth surgery after 4 months of injury? which operation is the best?

Accepted Answer

Ineffective: If, after a reasonable course of steroids, the patient reports decreased sensation and pain consistent with neuronal injury, neuropathic pain medications should then be considered. After 4 month the surgery is already known to be ineffective. See orofacial pain specialist for neuropathic pain management.

Question 3

what is the recovery time for acl reconstruction using hamstring, plus mcl repair plus lateral meniscus repair plus impact fracture of tibial plateau?

Accepted Answer

4-7 months: Sounds like you had a high energy injury to your knee. The rate limiting factor for recovery is the acl injury. In addition when combined with the meniscal , and mcl tear plus tibial plateau fracture you chief problem to overcome usually is the stiffness associated with all of the scar tissue.

Question 4

after a repair in ac rupture, would it results in under pronation?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: Excessive pronation causes the tibia to internally rotate and stresses the acl. A good repair would limit this and might promote more supination. A good physical therapist or gait/running coach and proper orthotics may be able to control this and help retrain proper form. Hope this helps you.

Question 5

how can you rehab an ac decompression and rotator cuff repair?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Only your surgeon can answer that question. The nature of your rehab depends of the cuff repair.  Most full-thickness cuff repairs should be protected in a sling for at least 4 weeks.  The patient progresses from passive to active-assisted and finally active range of motion exercises. The surgeon must give guidance.

Question 6

what are rehab methods for ac decompression and rotator cuff repair?

Accepted Answer

In three stages: 1-the repair needs to be protected while the tendon heals. To keep your arm from moving you will most likely use a sling and avoid using it 4-6 weeks.
2-passive exercise in most cases, passive exercise is begun within the first 4 to 6 weeks after surgery.
3-after 4 to 6 weeks, you will progress to doing active exercises without the help of your therapist. 
Then we start strengthening exercises.

Question 7

what do i need to know about shoulder ac and rotator cuff repair surgery?

Accepted Answer

Significant procedur: Both procedures are significant operations
which require extensive rehabilitation
if you have these procedures performed
you will likely require about six months of
rehab to be close to normal.

Question 8

what is the definition or description of: ac joint separation repair?

Accepted Answer

Shoulder Separation: The a-c joint is the joint between the acromion (outer shoulder blade) and the clavicle (collarbone).  An a-c joint separation involves injury to the joint capsule and ligaments that stabilize the joint.  Injuries can range from mild to severe.

Question 9

4 months ago i had surgery for a type 4 ac joint dislocation
all ligaments were torn. a repair was done using the dog bone method. now, after surgery and 4 months later there is almost on inch of movement at the ac joint point. is this expected?

Accepted Answer

Unexpected: A repair should bring the joint back to function. Typically the joint does not move. I would have the surgeon double check the joint.

Question 10

what happens if you don't get fistula repaired?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms can get: Worse and an otherwise simple fistula, easy to repair, can develop into a more complex fistula, much more difficult to repair and associated with a poorer success rate. Best to make the time to determine the reason for the fistula, correct that, and if necessary have your fistula repaired before it becomes more problematic.
