Weight Limit Progression After Rotator Cuff Repair

Rehabilitation Considerations

• Subacromial decompression does not significantly alter the rehabilitation timeline but may improve overall outcomes, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 1
• Older age is associated with higher failure rates and poorer outcomes after rotator cuff repair, as reported by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2
• Comorbidities may negatively affect healing and functional outcomes, as noted by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons 2
