Comments (12)I have had tears repaired on both -1st one was able to do it with scope. My shoulder was frozen, painful and much reduced mobility prior to surgery. After almost no pain from day 1, except at physical therapy and exercising but after almost 3 mos of the PT had about 90% rotation. few years later the left one and that tear was extensive so had to do regular surgery. Lucky the cuff was not completely detached, but recovery was longer. Lots of pain prior, and pain meds for a few days after. Had arm in sling for about a week, then 3 mos of PT again. I again have about 95% rotation and was pain free after the 3 mos of PT. Glad I had them done as in both cases the before pain was way worse than anything after the surgeries....See Morerotator cuff repair surgery

Comments (17)It's harder to get into medical school than into podiatry school, entrance standards are higher. (Many who go podiatry school tried and failed to get into either allopathic or osteopath schools). Physician training is more intensive. For those going into surgery, the training route for physician surgeons (compared to podiatrists) takes more years and involves exposure to arguably better teaching practitioners and a broader variety of situations. Of course there are great podiatric surgeons and lousy physician orthopedists but if given a choice, why would anyone pick a service provider whose training was less rigorous and whose profession is less selective for entrance? There are things that podiatrists do that orthopedic surgeons don't, I don't mean to suggest that seeing one for one of those problems is a bad choice. But if surgery is involved, I think finding someone whose training and academic background are on a higher level is something most would prefer....See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
