When I studied shoulder arthroscopy abroad 20 years ago, foreign teachers emphasized the need to immobilize the shoulder joint for 3 months after surgery, whether it was rotator cuff tear suture repair or shoulder dislocation surgery. Among the various methods of external fixation of the shoulder joint, the most torturous one is the external fixation brace. Because this brace is composed of materials such as metal and plastic, the structure is complicated and requires fixation of the thoracic, shoulder, and elbow joints up to the wrist joint. The patient sits or stands so that the weight of the entire upper limb and the fixation brace is pressed against one side of the chest wall, and the pressure is very painful despite the padded protection. In the prone position, the immobilization brace behind the patient’s back makes it impossible to lie down and sleep. I had a patient with this brace more than a decade ago who slept sitting on the couch for a month after surgery, and did not go to bed comfortably until this brace was removed. This made me feel helpless. A more popular method of shoulder braking for doctors and patients is the “pillow”, often called a “small couch”. This type of fixation is more reliable, so that the shoulder joint is completely on the side of the body at about 40 degrees of abduction, and the shoulder joint is completely immobile. The fixation was good, but it brought a serious complication – shoulder stiffness. Because of tissue adhesions caused by bleeding and inflammatory reactions inside and outside the joint during surgery, the joint capsule and muscles lose their elasticity due to lack of pulling and movement, which significantly reduces the range of motion of the shoulder joint. Even if the surgery is done well, the patient cannot move the shoulder joint or the range of motion is limited, and the surgery cannot be considered successful. The shoulder and elbow sling, once widely used, comes from the triangular towel of the field ambulance. It is a classic braking method used almost everywhere for upper extremity injuries, but it is not appropriate for shoulder injuries or post-surgical braking. Because this sling fixes the forearm to the abdomen, the shoulder joint is significantly internally rotated. Over time the shoulder joint adheres to the internal rotation position and external rotation decreases, especially with the addition of a lateral fixation belt of the kind that prevents abduction. In order to prevent complications such as joint adhesions brought about by absolute braking of the shoulder joint. For more than a decade we have used non-restrictive braking, to be precise, to prevent internal shoulder braking. Our approach allows the patient to swing in an anterior-posterior direction within a point after shoulder surgery, allowing passive abduction and maintaining the shoulder joint in a neutral position (forearm forward). This avoids internal rotation, prevents adhesions, and ensures healing of the suture tissue. It makes the range of joint movement after surgery such as shoulder dislocation basically normal, so that post-surgical rehabilitation of the shoulder joint is no longer a painful matter and makes me feel less helpless.
