Admin Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Complete Tear.... That's a shame!! Everything I've read said that full tear is better than a partial tear in both ease of surgery and long term recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted December 31, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I thought I read somewhere that partial tear could be treated without surgery and had shorter downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a partial tear last time. It also depends on the degree of the tear. But either way you are out for quite some time. This is better as it should lead to a complete recovery and we won't have to worry about the torn part re-tearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, I would have expected the complete opposite. I mean if the pec is partially torn couldn't you tear the rest. Gee I'd make a great doctor!

ViperXX79 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Yes partial tears are worse. A complete tear is easier to fix. That's why a lot of times doctors will go ahead and completely tear the injury before doing the surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
