I was wondering if anyone here might remember the brief existence of www.russellcrowe.com and his "Inside Story".
LOLOL If so, which rotator cuff muscle(s) did Russell have operated on back in '01?
(told ya it was trivial...!  )

Oh yes, I remember both!
Did anybody save the pics and Russell's commentary? I didn't and I could never find it again. As far as I can remember (and I'm not sure about the medical terms) he tore off the tendon including the ligament off the bone and it had to kind of be sewed back on again. Thus it was a different kind of injury than the one he sustained while training for Cinderella Man, albeit on the same shoulder. ETA The operation was in fall 2000, though.

If I remember correctly, he tore the labrum tendon, which attaches the bicep muscle to the shoulder joint , and had to have it reattached.

Found this buried in my files, I assume the comments under the pics are RC's ?
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.
torn tissue, being scraped 
bone being rasped in preparation for drill 
don't know what this is, looks like somebody's finger poking around 
more tissue munching plus closeup of doctors glove 
little extra rasping of rotator cuff bone and finished re-attached tendon (bottom left)

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for, Maxi!
And yes, the comments are Russell's! Remember how he told in various interviews that he was in a hotel room in Melbourne with "nothing better to do", so he put it on the internet?

Thanks for the replies, everyone - as I don't post here often, I sort of forgot about it! But I knew *somebody* 'round here would have it saved ~ TY, Maxi & Darrin! Was actually funnier than I even remember:
