Conditions
Summary
Rotator cuff injuries are the third leasing cause of pain and disability, accounting for 16% of all musculoskeletal injuries. Following surgical intervention, patients typically undergo a 4 to 6 week immobilization period before starting physical therapy. This rehabilitation phase can last between 4 to 6 months. Despite this, there is currently a lack of clear guidelines regarding specific physical therapy protocols or the expected post surgical recovery for patients who have undergone rotator cuff repair.
