If you are interested in participating in this clinical trial following your rotator cuff repair surgery, and would like more information about the study, please contact SnyderB@atlanticortho.com.
A recent study published in the Journal of Shoulder & Elbow Surgery found that on average patients will add five pounds of water weight during an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair shoulder surgery. During shoulder arthroscopy, fluid is pumped into the shoulder joint. This fluid spreads into the surrounding tissues which causes the shoulder to swell. Basically, the shoulder becomes “water logged”. The good news is, your body will quickly get rid of this extra fluid within a few days of your operation.
So, if you gain a little bit of weight after your shoulder surgery……blame it on your surgeon!
