Initially it just looked like shit.

Now it still looks like shit, is painful, and bonehead is out $25,000.

Haha

My Orthopedic Surgeon says it is going to completely change how surgeons view pec tears and repairs worldwide. How is that for a failed boob job?

Its all mangled I know how to try and hide it. It also hurts, but I am old and it kind of works so a lot to think about."

8 months later

LOL!

I’m sure the surgery was a complete success and his body is rejecting the donor tendon.

Update on Hankins pec surgery:

Wood Hankins

"Doctor says some of the muscle has pulled off the tendon. Wants me to get a Chest Wall MRI and is talking about doing the procedure again. It was a very difficult, painful, and long recovery the first time in addition to being an expensive procedure not covered by insurance. I am almost 50 years old".   

I wonder if the surgeon would do the procedure for free second time or bill Brian again.

Good chance the surgeon saw Brian as an easy target for some $$$ and the surgery was never gonna be a success. He was warned by getbig about this being a possibility too. He should sue. If only he was a lawyer..

[Lartinos]

“ Yeah — that’s very likely what happened. That’s actually the most common cause of failure after a pec tendon reconstruction (especially with a graft like the Achilles allograft).

Here’s why:
   •   After surgery, the graft initially functions like a bridge held by sutures. It takes months for the body to biologically incorporate the graft — meaning new blood vessels and collagen fibers have to grow into it before it can handle real force.
   •   In the first 3–6 months, the attachment is mechanically fragile even if it looks healed externally.
   •   When someone starts pressing, flys, dips, or push-ups too soon, the new attachment can stretch out or tear again, especially under eccentric loads (like lowering the weight).
   •   Once that happens, the graft may partially detach or scar down in the wrong position, leaving asymmetry, weakness, or constant pulling pain — which sounds like what that guy’s describing.

Even at one year post-op, most surgeons still recommend easing back into pressing movements very slowly, often with physical therapy supervision.

Once a graft like that fails, revision options are limited — there’s usually too much scar tissue and not enough remaining muscle to anchor another graft effectively.”

Im responsible for his injured anus

Fixed that for you ssstuuuuddddddd

The surgeon is covered, it is well documented the bhank did not follow the post-op recovery protocol. Imagine how it would have played in court:


Judge: Mr. Hankins, did you follow the 20 week post operation rehabilitation protocol your doctor provided you?

bhank: My orthopedic is doing his best to slow me down.


Judge: What do you mean your orthopedic is doing his best to slow you down Mr. Hankins?

bhank: I am not on their schedule. I am on mine. I am months ahead. I was already benching twice in the 40-50 rep range before week 13.


Judge: Mr. Hankins, I have the doctor's schedule in front of me and it says you were not supposed to do even a single push up by week 20 and instead of doing plyometric wall presses you say you bench pressed twice?

bhank: I am the foremost expert in the world at coming back from this shit.


Judge: Mr Hankins, please watch your language in this court. How do you claim you are the foremost expert? Do you have any medical qualifications?

bhank: There is no one on this fucking planet who knows more about my body and its recovery and training than me.


Judge: Mr Hankins, this is the last time, if you do not watch your language you will be held in contempt and sent to jail.

bhank: Fuck you bitch, you don't even lift!


Judge: Bailiff, please restrain Mr. Hankins.

bhank: I can't be faded!
