Please help! what is the rehab like for a mini open incision torn rotator cuff surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mini open RCR: The rehab is usually stepwise with the initial therapy involving passive motion of the arm for about 6 weeks while the cuff heals, then active motion for another 4-6 weeks, then a strength program.
