I’m a former 4 year Student Athlete (Sport- Football) Spring of my sophomore I tore my labrum in my right shoulder and played with it all through my Junior season. I came to JOI after the season, where I met Dr. Kaplan. He tested my shoulder for strength and stability and ordered an MRI. It was not clear how significantly torn my labrum was until I went under the knife. After surgery I stayed in a sling as ordered. It was tighter than usual when it came off but like Dr. Kaplan said “Better tight than loose at first”. After five to six months of hard rehab and getting my rotation back I was back at 100% for my senior year. Today I’m a member of the Louisiana Swashbucklers (PIFL) playing linebacker with no shoulder problems in my right shoulder since. Since then, any time I have a sports injury I go to Dr. Kaplan.
