A member asked:
What are the main causes of a slap tear and how long is the recovery once it's repaired arthroscopicaly with a suture anchor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Repetitive heavy: lifting, shoulder dislocation, age related, and traumatically induced are some of the reasons. Recovery depends on your overall medical condition, whether you smoke, and if you are compliant with physical therapy and follow up with home therapy, and your overall general mood an affect. Complex tears can take up to 6 months given good circumstances but noncompliance can result in longer recovery.
