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.
