Chad Gable Reveals Why His Surgery Was More Serious Than Expected

TLDR

Chad Gable revealed on his YouTube channel that his surgery last year was more serious than expected when doctors discovered his bicep tendon was completely shredded during what was planned as a rotator cuff repair. Dr. Jeffrey Dugas repaired both the rotator cuff and the unexpectedly damaged bicep tendon during the same procedure, which lasted less than an hour. Gable said the doctor told him his ability to continue wrestling with that level of damage demonstrated his toughness as an elite athlete.
