How long does it take to recover from rotator cuff surgery?

Answer by  Tracy31 (59)

Regardless of the type of surgery done, whether minimally invasive or not, most people will have 80% of their strength back six months later. It takes approximately two years for full strength to return.

With rotor cuff surgery, you should be able to perform everyday tasks within about three months. Heavy lifting needs to avoided for much longer.
