Common questions
- How long is recovery after shoulder arthroscopy?
- It depends on what was done. Simple procedures may allow return to normal activity in a few weeks, while repairs of the rotator cuff or labrum commonly take four to six months.
- Will I need a sling?
- Usually yes, at least briefly. For repairs, a sling is typically worn for about four to six weeks; for simpler procedures it may be days. Your surgeon will advise.
- Is arthroscopy an option for shoulder arthritis?
- Arthroscopy generally offers limited, temporary benefit for arthritis. Advanced shoulder arthritis is more often treated with other options, including shoulder replacement when symptoms are severe.
