Saw mr Funk in 2017 to repair my left Pectoral which had a partial rupture after a sparing session at boxing two years earlier and to do a revision repair on my right pectoral which had torn during a game of rugby in 2013. After the surgery’s Mr Funk said both were strong repairs but not to do a press up for a year. I was fine with that as I had given up rugby and only used the bag at boxing. Straight away they didn’t feel good. I was using the most stringent rehab protocol and having a degree it’s sports physiology, along my physio we knew how to rehab...but even after a year both didn’t feel good - I couldn’t confidently do day to day activities ( walk the dog, push myself up from a chair, lean on anything) after several visits over the 2 years and numerous MRIs in 2019 Mr Funk suddenly declared they were both retorn (despite them having the same appearance as after the 3 month follow up and subsequent meetings). He then retracted this statement after more MRIs and declared they were both just stretched out however he agreed to go in again. I decided to have the left pectoral repaired first as that was the most painful. This time he used an allograft. This repair again didn’t feel right and then after 6 months I was leaning on a sink to get something from the cabinet underneath and felt a weird sensation. I knew it had retorn. After another visit, MRIs and an internal investigation that I insisted on I was told the repair was intact. A month ago I visited another surgeon, he took one look and confirmed a retear, this has been repaired and this repair even after a month seems 100 times better than after 2 years withMr Funk. I will be having the right pectoral repaired also with this new surgeon.
