“…In keeping with developments in anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation, the decision was made to mobilize the patients' arms early after rotator cuff repair. 17 This may aid in faster reconditioning of the atrophied and degenerated rotator cuff muscles that are seen in chronic rotator cuff tears. 21 No abduction brace was used.…”
