Do’s and Don’ts after shoulder repair surgery.
After the surgery, you need to take good care of your shoulder to ensure proper healing. Tips for faster recovery after rotator cuff repair are:
- Use a sling for 4-6 weeks after the surgery.
- Keep your shoulder immobile. Do not perform any reaching, lifting, pushing, or pulling motions during the first 5-6 weeks after the operation.
- If it feels too uncomfortable, you can remove the sling for a little while several times a day to straighten your elbow.
- Keep up with your physiotherapy exercises and post-operative medication.
- Eat light meals, especially on the day before the surgery.
- Apply an ice-pack to the surgical site for 48-72 hours after the surgery two to three times a day.
- Keep your dressing for the recommended amount of time. Make sure to follow up with your surgeon.
- If there is any redness, inflammation, swelling, or bleeding from the incision site, then immediately contact your doctor.
How is arthroscopic rotator cuff operation performed?
The surgery is performed in the following steps:
- Depending on several factors, such as the severity of the symptoms, the patient’s condition, the surgeon’s preference, etc., the surgery may be performed under general or local anaesthesia.
- The surgeon creates a couple of tiny incisions. An arthroscope is inserted through the first incision through which the surgeon inspects all the rotator cuff tissues and damage to the tissue.
- Through the second incision, the surgeon inserts operative instruments to bring the tendons’ edges together and attach them together using small rivets or sutures called anchors to attach the tendons to the bone.
- The rotator cuff repair anchors are made of either metal or plastic and do not need to be removed after the surgery.
