Rotator Cuff Brainstorm What Happens After Rotator Cuff Surgery?

What happens after rotator cuff surgery? - rotator cuff brainstorm

My mother tore her rotator cuff, and should be repaired. I am concerned and I wonder how long physical therapy and how long you can not use his arm normally?
Thank you!

It depends on the size of the crack) the integrity of tissues and tearing their traumatic (eg a fall or degenerative. Small or medium-sized tears ... especially because of the injury will progress much faster. It could be in a sling for a week and then start stretching the PT and later weeks strengtheing year. The weather in the PT is usually not more than 8-12 weeks.

Large, massive tears ... degengerative particular nature (which means that the fabric is of good quality), or traumatic tears in which the individual has the ability to raise his arm above his head lost is the removal of the non-set "a straitjacket that can be expected for approximately 4 -6 weeks are used. PT could begin after the first 1-2 weeks, or not start until 4-6 weeks after the expansion and strengthening of the principle of weeks later. Many people in these cases are in PT for 5 -- 6 months.

There will be a prosthetic arm for 4-6 weeks after surgery can cure the repaired tendon. In the meantime, she will begin physical therapy on mobility, pain of labor, and postural

If your doctor can (the active movement which means that moves the arm to his mother) start in the shoulder muscles, their weapons (strengthening a further 3-6 weeks). The tendon is more susceptible to injury and should continue his rotator cuff exercises for a few months of physical therapy is completed.
