 Hi, I'm Dr. Sushal Shantakumar. I'm a consultant shoulder surgeon practicing in Manipal Hospital's Bangalore. Rotated cuff is a tissue which connects the muscle to the bone around your shoulder joint. Following adequately performed rotated cuff repair, patients can be expected to recover 90-95% of motion of the affected shoulder and 90-95% strength of the affected shoulder. You will be put on a physiotherapy regimen following a brief period of immobilization for about 2-3 weeks. After that you will be told to strengthen your involved muscles. So, in a period of 4-6 months, you can expect complete recovery and motion and strength in your affected shoulder.
