The Inside Story

©10/2000 by: Russell Crowe

Problem
Primary post traumatic slap lession of the antero-superior portion of the labrum.

Procedure
Arthroscopic reconstrution.with re-absorable plugs.

Basic English
Four incisions, scrape away torn tissue, rasp bone, drill holes in bone, insert directonal wire, drop re-absorable plugs down into holes, hammer plugs through labrum tissue into bone bringing bicep tendom back into place. Bob's your uncle. Piece of piss. No wuckin' furries (furry's)

1/ torn tissue, being scraped

2/ bone being rasped in preparation for drill.

 

3/ Don't know what this is, looks like somebody's finger poking around

 

4/ More tissue munching, plus close up of doctors glove

5/ little extra rasping of rotator cuff bone and finished re-attached tendom (bottom left)

4 incisions, 6 stitches, pommy bloke assists (bad sign, chronic ball droppers as a nation but apparently plays a good game). Supposed to be local anasthetic but nerve block is supplemented by happy pill with amnesiatic effects, however vivid memory of shaving of armpit, request by four hospital staff to strip naked and put on paper pants - impolitely declined - basis of argument, 'it's my f&*king shoulder' ,head restraint, pure white spittle, surgeon sweating while hammering plugs like James Woods in a minor role.
