Sorry to ask for advice, but I'm a medical student interested in orthopedic surgery. I recently (5 weeks ago) had the Weaver-Dunn procedure on my right shoulder. I just finished my period of required immobility. I wanted some second opinions on how long I should wait before I can start lifting weights again. I am very athletically involved, including football, baseball, and weightlifting. How long should I wait before I start doing these things again? Also, will I ever be able to return to my previous abilities of lifting weights (i.e. 300+ lbs. deadlift)? If so, how long does it usually take for a 22 yr. old to recover fully from this surgery? What percentage, if any, of people return to normal activity after this surgery, and is the strength of the ligament in a shoulder post-Weaver-Dunn as strong as a natural shoulder? Thanks for your help.
