๐ Rotator Cuff Shoulder Surgery . ๐ Your shoulderโs complex architecture relies heavily on the #RotatorCuff - a group of muscles and tendons that enable smooth, pain-free movement. When injury strikes, advanced surgical techniques offer hope for recovery. Arthroscopic #shouldersurgery procedures allow surgeons to repair torn rotator cuffs through tiny incisions, reducing recovery time vs. traditional open surgery. Using specialized instruments and cameras, surgeons can precisely repair damaged tendons while preserving healthy tissue: - Minimal scarring - Reduced post-operative pain - Faster recovery - Better visualization of the injury - Lower infection risk . Typical Rotator Cuff Repair Recovery: ๐ Wk 1-6: Protective phase with limited movement ๐ Wk 6-12: Progressive motion exercises ๐ Mos 3-4: Strengthening begins ๐ Mos 4-6: Return to normal activities Up to 90% of patients report significant pain relief + improved function after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair when following proper rehabilitation protocols. Best candidates for surgery: - Failed conservative treatment - Acute traumatic tears - Active individuals - Significant weakness/pain - Good tissue quality . ๐ SHARE your #ShoulderInjury journey & experience . . ๐ฅ credits @tribemedical ๐ Arthrex Speedbridgeโข๏ธ
