Biceps Tendon Repair Surgery Rehabilitation

Dr. Reuben Gobezie with the Cleveland Shoulder Institute explains how to best recover from biceps tendon repair surgery using simple in-home physical therapy protocols. The biceps surgery recovery is broken down into three phases: 1) Two weeks of passive range of motion exercises (assisted) 2) Four weeks of active range of motion exercises 3) Six weeks of standing active range of motion exercises Once this twelve week protocol is followed, patients can move on to Dr. Gobezie's fabulous six exercise protocol found directly here:    • The Fabulous Six Shoulder Exercises   or on the physical therapy page of the Cleveland Shoulder Institute website: https://clevelandshoulder.com/physica.... Dr. Gobezie is one of the country’s top specialists in advanced arthroscopic and open surgical techniques to restore damaged joints, ligaments and bones. He is also one of the most experienced and highest volume shoulder surgeons in the country. A number of studies have shown that surgical volume, the number of surgeries a surgeon performs each year, is a strong predictor of better patient outcomes. The more times that a doctor and his surgical team perform a surgery, the better the results for patients. In a typical year, Dr. Gobezie performs more than 400 shoulder replacements and 600 arthroscopic procedures. For comparison, most general orthopedic surgeons typically perform around 20 shoulder surgeries per year. When selecting a surgeon, be sure to ask how many times the doctor has performed the procedure you need to have done.   Cleveland Shoulder Institute is an affiliate of Cleveland Orthopedic & Spine Institute (cleorthopedics.com).
