Here we have the fractured Greater Tubercle of professional triathlete Daz Parker. This injury was sustained whilst racing and due to a crash off the bike, Parker did, however, finish the race.
Rehab is now under way post reconstruction. ROM being, initially, severely restricted in all but GH extension. Various ART protocols were/and are being employed to facilitate ROM and strength. Of specific note here are the protocols involving distal release of Supraspinatus and general subscapularis. The former, when combined with general release of the GH capsule, being particularly useful as the superior aspect of the reconstruction had become adhered to the inferior surface of the Acromion.
Daz is about to resume training!
