Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Before Surgery:
You will have a pre-operative appointment with a Physician Assistant (PA). At this appointment, you will be given a packet with information about your surgery. There are detailed instructions in the packet explaining how to prepare for surgery. The PA will review this information with you and answer any questions that you may have at that time. The PA will also review your chart to ensure that all needed lab tests, imaging, and/or consults from other doctors are completed.
Day of Surgery:
Most patients will be discharged home the day of surgery. You will have a bulky tape and gauze dressing placed on your shoulder. Leave the dressing in place for 3 days. You may then discard the dressing and leave your shoulder open to the air. If the stitches rub on your clothing, you may cover them with a small bandage. You may shower after 3 days.
An ice sleeve will be placed over the dressing, and your arm will be immobilized in a sling. You will be given instructions on adjusting the sling and using the ice sleeve before you are discharged home.
You will need an adult to assist you with transportation to and from the hospital.
After Surgery:
Wear your sling in public, when up and walking, and at night when sleeping. You may sleep in any position you find comfortable while wearing your sling. You can remove your sling for short periods of time when you are awake and seated in a safe environment and your arm is at your side. The sling will be used for 3 months or as directed by your Physical Therapist. No driving while wearing the sling.
The ice sleeve is provided for your comfort. Use it as directed.
Please keep your scheduled Physical Therapy appointment. A link to the physical therapy protocol is listed below.
At your first follow-up appointment, your wounds will be examined and sutures will be removed. The details of the surgical procedure will be discussed, and pictures from your surgery will be reviewed. You will have additional follow-up appointments at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 1 year from surgery. Your return to work and recreational activities will be discussed on an individual basis.
Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) and Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (RTSA)
Before Surgery:
You will have a pre-operative appointment with a Physician Assistant (PA). At this appointment, you will be given a packet with information about your surgery. There are detailed instructions in the packet explaining how to prepare for surgery. The PA will review this information with you and answer any questions that you may have at that time. The PA will also review your chart to ensure that all needed lab tests, imaging, and/or consults from other doctors are completed.
Hospital Stay:
Most patients will be discharged home the day after surgery. A clear plastic adhesive dressing will be placed over the incision. The dressing is waterproof, and you can shower immediately. The arm is placed in a sling. An ice sleeve is placed over the shoulder. In the hospital, Occupational Therapists and Physical Therapists will instruct you on how to use the sling, ice sleeve, and perform basic tasks associated with daily life at home. If you require additional home support, a Social Worker will assist in arranging short-term placement at an appropriate facility or for home health services. Many patients are started on a medication for one month to prevent blood clots.
After Surgery:
The clear plastic adhesive dressing stays in place until your follow-up visit. Wear your sling in public, when up and walking, and at night when sleeping. You may sleep in any position you find comfortable while wearing your sling. You can and should remove your sling when you are awake and seated in a safe environment. You should move your elbow, wrist, and fingers several times throughout the day. You may use your arm immediately for light tasks in front of your body such as holding a book or a newspaper, using a keyboard, or holding a pen. Avoid internal or external rotation (reaching to your back pocket or out to your side). Please keep your scheduled Physical Therapy appointment. A link to the physical therapy protocol is listed below.
At your first follow-up appointment, the clear plastic adhesive dressing will be removed. You may continue to shower normally. No further wound care is required. Your radiographs (X-rays) from surgery will be reviewed. You will have additional follow-up appointments at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 1 year from surgery. The sling will be used for 3 months or as directed by your Physical Therapist. No driving while wearing the sling. Your return to work and recreational activities will be discussed on an individual basis.
