Deadlift form critique post injury

Yeah. It's what I thought. I see this a lot.

The key is the bar against the shins BUT the shoulders slightly forward of the bar. You sometimes start out with the shoulders forward of the bar and sometimes don't but just about every rep you pull you shoulders back to initiate the lift. Don't do that. If your shoulders stay forward of the bar you butt should end up a bit higher, appropriately. You going to pull/push straight up. You are actually pulling slightly back on the bar.

Again, one the bar and legs are in proper position and the shoulders are forward of the bar...you MUST maintain that relationship as you lift. Think of it as the bar being lined up underneath the scapula. Then just do what you have been doing.

I could watch the other vids again to see if that was happening but it is easily corrected. Just pay attention. You lifting technique is so much better you just need to keep proper body position.

Let me stress that if keeping your shoulders forward of the bar means you back angle changes and the butt comes up a bit...THAT IS FINE. You have a tendency to want you but to be too low.

Doing this properly should eliminate the any shin drag. It's not like your legs are that very long.
