Shoulder Repair: Procedure, Recovery, and Care
Shoulder repair refers to a range of surgical procedures used to treat injuries or damage within the shoulder joint. This may include repairing torn tendons, ligaments, cartilage, or joint structures such as the rotator cuff or labrum.
The procedure may be performed using minimally invasive techniques (arthroscopy) or open surgery, depending on the type and extent of the injury. Common reasons for shoulder repair include rotator cuff tears, labral tears, and joint instability.
Recovery depends on the procedure performed but usually involves rest, use of a sling, and physical therapy to restore motion and strength over time.
