I tore my labrum with a slap tear. had surgery two weeks go, when i heal is there a good chance of playing sports again?

Yes, In Time: Regardless of the tissue repaired, primary healing takes 3 months and we recommend avoiding any stressful activities that may compromise the healing process (including aggressive pt). Strengthening can start after 3 months and depending on the level of activity the ultimate return can vary. Learn more here: http://www.Theshouldercenter.Com/labrum-tear-slap-lesion.Htm.

Slap tear: Many high school, college, and professional athletes return to their sport after having this surgery. With appropriate rehabilitation you should be able to return to athletic activities.
