(5,037 posts)no surgery, but i still get pains when the weather turns bad.
i'll bet this entire process is done robotically.

(107 posts)I have a complete torn off the bone rotator cuff. Probably occurred around May. Because of emergency neck surgery, and now a cancer diagnosis its been put off. First chance for a RC repair would probably be February or March. By then the repair probably is not possible. From what Ive heard RC repair recovery is less difficult than a reverse replacement. Although both are not easy.
In any case I hope yours is fully successful and the recovery goes well. Keep us updated throughout the journey.

I have a messed up rotator cuff and was told it was inoperable, many years ago, now I wonder if things have changed and I can get that fixed.
