Can you paste the article into a post or series of posts?

While I have not read the article, I would caution that wearing away the only joint that technically keeps the humerus attached to the axial skeleton may present additional problems down the road potentially. I'd enjoy giving it a read as this is a fascinating subject to me.

Hey guys,

this article is pretty good. i read it all. what i understood is that the distal resection surgery is better for those professional bodybuilders that want to return to heavy weightlifting and bodybuilding. true?

I have had an AC separation for 7 months now and the pain has decreases but i still feel weird in the shoulder as i feel bones crushing each other and moving around. Any advice on whether to get the surgery or not to return to normal bench presses and weight lifting? I am currently benching 120 kgs with a type 2 separation with a spot. But i do get pain every once in a while. Any advice?

I had the subacromial approach done to my shoulder back in July of 2010, the doc's description was as follows.

Surgeons description: The arthoscope was introduced after the joint was insufflated with 30ccs of saline in subacromial bursa space and insufflated with 20 ccs of .25 percent Marcaine with Epinephrine. The interarticular surfaces were visualized and biceps tendon was intact as was the labial anchor. Anterior and inferior labial showed a large flap tear that was sheared of the entire 50% inferior aspect of the glenoid and anterior aspect that was still attached at the inferior rim and the anterior inferior rim. It was creating a large flap and this was debrided as was the torn labrum. The humeral surface also had a large area of osteoarthritis with grade IV chondromalacia and extensive chondromalacia was noted throughout the glenoid. Once the chondroplasty was performed, and unstable articular cartilage debrided back. the cartilage and fragments were removed from the joint. There was a small partial thickness tear of the humeral surface of the supraspinatus. This was debrided with a shaver. The biceps tendon was stable and examined. There was no significant tendonosis. Subscapularis was intact. There was some intra-articular synovitis. There was some bursitis encountered and this was debided and a standard decompression was then affected with the arthowand, 4.5 shaver and the 4.5 burr. The distal clavicle was preserved by coplaning and the extensive bursectomy was performed. The bursal surface of the cuff was healthy and no sign of a complete tear was identified. The wound was then injected with 20 ccs of Neuropen and sterile dressing applied.

After spending 6 weeks getting motion back this exercise has done wonders! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JY0TMsw7W74

This one has helped also!

I get grinding in my shoulders just moving my arms to take a piss but my range of motion is excellent and my workouts are pretty much unaffected so I agree with this article. My ortho does too as we have had this discussion in the past.
