A member asked:
How soon can i go back to an accounting job (use my arms a lot for typing and compiling papers) after excision distal clavicle surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
10-14 days: Would want to check with your surgeon, certainly. But in general, if you had an arthroscopic distal clavicle resection that did not require any associated repair of a torn rotator cuff or ligamentous structure, 10/24 days would be average for return to modified duty; sooner if not too sore.
