Rotator Cuff Tear/Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator Cuff Tear/Rotator Cuff Repair - Post-surgery care
Postoperative rehabilitation vary depending upon the extent of the injury and repair, the quality of tissue and surgeon’s preference.
Your surgeon may order for an Arm Sling or Master Sling for the operated shoulder after the surgery. You may be required to wear the Arm Sling or Master Sling as much as possible, even when you sleep. Discuss with your surgeon on the duration of this sling. Do not discontinue the use of the sling until directed by the doctor.
Please refer to “Orthopaedic Surgery information sheet” for other information regarding post-surgery care.
