Anna Jay’s shoulder surgery is done, and she now knows exactly why the joint kept giving out.
Jay said earlier this month that surgery had become unavoidable. On a Twitch stream this week, she said she recently had what’s called a Latarjet procedure.
Basically, they did what’s called a Latarjet surgery. Basically, that surgery is to fix the missing shoulder bone.
She said years of dislocations and earlier surgeries had worn the bone down.
Every time I dislocated it, more bone would chip off. So they described it to be like a golf ball on a tee, and the shoulder sits on a tee, and when it falls off, it’s dislocating.
And basically, the tee of my shoulder was missing 20% of the bone. So no wonder it would just keep coming out, because 20% of a tee is a big deal.
Surgeons took bone from another part of her shoulder and attached it to the damaged area.
So it’s like a bone on the shoulder that you’re not using, and they screw it in. So now I have two screws in my shoulder.
Jay said the procedure went well and she was starting physical therapy this week.
For the first week or two, I was in a good amount of pain. I just wanna get this thing off, but the sling, I think, I’ll have to keep on for six weeks total.
Jay has been out of action since the summer with an injury to the same shoulder that had troubled her before. Tony Khan said in July that he had hoped to book her before she got hurt, and she has extended her AEW contract. There is no timetable for her return.
