I had the opportunity to sit in on a surgery for a rotator cuff repair today (supraspinatus & subscapularis repair). It was very helpful as far as being able to truly understand why caution must be taken in the first weeks of therapy so as not to compromise the surgery. I would definitely recommend observing this surgery if you have the opportunity to.
