After a glenoid labrum repair for recurrent shoulder dislocation, the pain is usually mild and not as severe as after rotator cuff surgery. Because it is not very painful, patients tend to be more casual when doing rehabilitation exercises. I have seen a patient who had a glenoid labrum repair remove his brace and exercise at will 1 week after surgery. It is important to note that although it is not very painful, the repaired tissue needs time to heal and excessive activity too early can interfere with tissue healing. Therefore, patients are advised to follow the rehabilitation program to minimize the risk of recurrence. I will briefly explain the key points of post-operative rehabilitation of recurrent shoulder dislocation, which I hope will be helpful to you. The specific exercises, which should have been explained by the rehabilitator at the time of your discharge, will be described in detail in my future articles. Postoperative rehabilitation of recurrent shoulder dislocation (anterior inferior glenoid labrum repair): 2 weeks after surgery, perform active exercises, not passive exercises. The aim is to restore the range of motion of the joint. Do not force the joint to move at an angle that is tolerable in pain and does not cause severe pain within 8 weeks. A range of motion close to normal is sufficient (160 degrees of forward flexion, 80 degrees of abduction, and 45 degrees of external rotation). Patients with weak quality of the repair tissue will be informed postoperatively and progress will be scheduled as appropriate. Joint mobility exercises (up to maximum angle) once a day are sufficient and should be adhered to for about 3 minutes. Apply ice for 20 minutes immediately after the exercise. Be careful not to repeat too many exercises per day. In the early stage, ice should be applied more often, 3-5 times/day. Wear the brace for 6 weeks in general. No abduction, external rotation or excessive posterior extension of the shoulder joint for 6-8 weeks. No heavy lifting for 3 months. Follow-up time points: 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years ………………..
