Common questions
- How long does labrum repair recovery take?
- Most people are out of the sling in about a month and back to daily activities soon after. Return to sports commonly takes four to six months, and overhead or throwing athletes may need more time.
- Does a torn labrum always need surgery?
- No. Many labral tears are managed with physical therapy and activity changes first. Surgery is typically considered for repeated shoulder dislocations or symptoms that persist despite rehab.
- What is the difference between a SLAP tear and a Bankart tear?
- A SLAP tear involves the top of the labrum where the biceps tendon attaches; a Bankart tear involves the front-lower labrum and usually follows a dislocation. Treatment differs by tear type and age, so an evaluation matters.
