Will My Arm Ever Be The Same After Rotator Cuff Surgery?

The answer is no, but it will be way better.

That’s why we’re doing rotator cuff surgery to fix the problem in your shoulder. When you look at our data, we specialize in this surgery. In my practice, I do close to 400 rotator cuff repairs a year, which is way more than the average surgeon doing them.

If you ask most surgeons who perform rotator cuff repairs, the average age of the surgeon would be around 58 years. But even then, the outcomes are excellent.

Looking at our data, our average score going in, where people rate their shoulder out of 100, is roughly 50 or 60. Coming out of surgery, they rate it 90, 95% of normal, which is like 95% of their strength, 95% of their motion, and 95% of their pain is gone.

So is it going to be the same? Absolutely not. If you are like 95% of our patients, it’s going to be erratically better, and you’re going to be able to do way more stuff with it than you could before without having the pain to have.
