Rotator Cuff Repair & PRP
In February 2013 I severely tore my rotator cuff in my right shoulder. I waited one month thinking I would heal, which did not happen. I went to a local orthopedic group here in Bradenton and had Xrays and an MRI. The surgeon there stated that because of the extent of the injury there would be a 50% chance of attaching all of the tendons. I was not satisfied with his diagnosis! I had heard about Dr. William Bennett and decided to get a second opinion. Dr. Bennett assured me that the surgery would be successful and on March 26, 2013 I had arthroscopic surgery on my right shoulder. Dr. Bennett suggested the PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatment which was added during my surgery, he had advised that it would aid in a faster recovery time and less pain. I was astonished at how fast I recovered! I was told by many people that had the same surgery it would take 6-8 months and that I could not play golf until after the 8th month. I started to swing golf clubs in July 2013 and was playing 18 holes by August. I was a 15 handicap before the surgery in March, and dropped to a 10 handicap as of September 2013. I can't thank Dr. Bennett enough for his surgical expertise and professional advice!!
