Can Lack Of Adequate Rest Cause Failure Of Rotator Cuff Surgery?
Question: I had rotator cuff surgery due to impact caused by primary care. The surgery failed. Lawyer claiming I was responsible for second rotator cuff surgery due to my raking and moving boxes. Is this true? Thank you, XXXXXXX
Brief Answer:
This is possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Lack of adequate rest after the surgery can cause a persistent inflammation and microscopic tears in the joint capsule causing a persistent pain and restriction of movement.
After the surgery you need to avoid doing any heavy work and physiotherapy is needed to regain the full range of movement.
Inadequate rest to the operated joint after the surgery can cause a failed surgery.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
