How long before you can play basketball after rotator cuff surgery?
It all depends on how bad the injury was and what they had to repair. Also, depends on how you heal, and how you take care of your shoulder, and do your home and therapy exercises consistently. Im 18 and been having shoulder problems since playing baseball at 16. I had rotator cuff surgery in December of 2011, and 2 1/2 months later I started shooting and playing basketball. Im a pitcher so it will be awhile until I can start light throwing again, but I have no pain shooting basketball. Just go to therapy and you will be okay

What is a good exercise for a torn rotator cuff?
*IMPORTANT* - Get your doctor's clearance before starting any exercise for a joint injury. Also, no exercise can heal rotator cuff. It can increase mobility and decrease pain. One of the most gentle exercises for rotator cuff is to stand beside a wall with the affected shoulder facing the wall. Put your fingertips on the wall and step out//away from the wall until your arm is level with your shoulder and only the fingertips are touching the wall. Now, "walk" your fingers up the wall as far as you can. Stop if pain. Then, walk your fingers back down the wall. Repeat 10x and redo the exercise up to 3 times a day. A second exercise.... Put your affected arm straight down, with your hand on the side of your hip. Raise your arm as high as you can without pain. Now pretend you are moving your arm in the air, from 3 pm position to 11 am position... so, 3, 2, 1, 12, 11.... then go backward, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3. Repeat the whole sequence at least 5x. Hint: This exercise will make it easier to reach behind your back, such as to put on your coat or wipe yourself. The pain from a torn rotator cuff can take months to calm down. The exercises will help, but need done regularly.
Rotator cuff repair?
DefinitionRotator cuff repair is a type of surgery to fix a torn tendon in the shoulder. The procedure can be done with a large ("open") incision or with shoulder arthroscopy, which uses small button-hole sized incisions.DescriptionThe rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that form a cuff over the shoulder joint. These muscles and tendons hold the arm in its "ball and socket" joint and help the shoulder to rotate. The role of the tendons is to hold the powerful shoulder muscles to the shoulder and arm bones. The tendons can be torn from overuse or injury.Your doctor will first check your shoulder with a small camera (arthroscope) to look at the tear and determine if it can be fixed. The arthroscope is inserted into the shoulder through a small poke-hole. The camera is connected to a video monitor. The surgeon looks around the entire joint to check the cartilage, tendons, and ligaments of your shoulder.After evaluating the shoulder joint, the surgeon places the camera in the space above the rotator cuff tendons, called the subacromial space. The surgeon can check the area above the rotator cuff, clean out inflamed or damaged tissue, and remove a bone spur (subacromial spur).If a tear is going to be fixed, the surgeon may perform the surgery with a larger, open incision. Other surgeons use the arthroscope and 1 to 3 additional small poke-holes or smaller incisions to perform the surgery. The additional small incisions allow the surgeon to insert other instruments to repair damaged tissue.The goal is to attach the tendon back to the bone where it tore off. The tendon is attached with sutures. Small rivets (called suture anchors) are often used to help attach the tendon to the bone. The suture anchors can be made of metal or material that dissolves over time, and do not need to be removed.At the end of the surgery, the incisions are closed, and a dressing is applied. If arthroscopy was performed, most surgeons take pictures of the procedure from the video monitor to show you what was found and what was done.Why the Procedure Is PerformedRotator cuff repair may be recommended for shoulder problems such as:Torn rotator cuff with weakness and painPain, especially using the arm overheadA bone spur or inflammation around the rotator cuffRisksThe risks for any anesthesia are:Allergic reactions to medicationsProblems breathingThe risks for any surgery are:BleedingInfectionNerve damageAdditional risks include:Stiffness of the shoulderFailure of the surgery to relieve symptomsFailure of the repair to healWeakness of the shoulderAfter the ProcedureSurgery to repair a torn rotator cuff is usually very successful at relieving pain in the shoulder. The procedure may not always return strength to the shoulder. Rotator cuff repair can require a long recovery period, especially if the tear was large.In many cases, arthroscopy reduces the need to surgically open the shoulder joint. This can result in less pain and stiffness. In cases of repair, the body still needs to heal after arthroscopic surgery, just as if it were open surgery, so the overall recovery time will still be long.Outlook (Prognosis)The recovery can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on the size of the tear and other factors. You may have to wear a sling for 1 to 6 weeks after surgery. Pain is usually managed with medications.When you can return to work or play sports will depend on the surgery that was performed, but it will usually take several months to resume your regular activities.Physical therapy may help you to regain the motion and strength of your shoulder. The length of therapy will depend on the repair that was performed.ReferencesMatsen FA III, Fehringer EV, Lippitt SB, Wirth MA, Rockwood CA Jr. Rotator cuff.
