Yes, swelling in the hand after a rotator cuff repair can be normal due to the surgical trauma and inflammation that can affect nearby areas. This swelling may result from fluid accumulation and the body's healing response. However, if the swelling is excessive or accompanied by severe pain, numbness, or changes in skin color, it's important to consult a healthcare professional to rule out complications.

What does rota cuff repair and sad mean?

Rotator cuff repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing tears in the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and allow for arm movement. "SAD" stands for Subacromial Decompression, a procedure often performed alongside rotator cuff repair to alleviate shoulder pain caused by impingement, where the rotator cuff tendons are compressed under the acromion bone. Together, these procedures aim to restore shoulder function and reduce pain, often in patients suffering from rotator cuff injuries or chronic shoulder problems.

What is a rotator cuff?

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and their related muscles that helps keep the upper arm bone securely placed, or seated, into the socket of the shoulder blade. Rotator cuff disorders are usually caused by a combination of factors, such as normal wear and tear. Age-related degeneration slowly damages the rotator cuff, causing one or more tendons to rub against the bones (impingement). Partial or complete tears to the rotator cuff tendon are more likely to occur when the rotator cuff is already scarred, weakened, or damaged. A complete rotator cuff tear in a person with an otherwise healthy shoulder is most often caused by an extremely forceful injury. PAINPAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
