Postoperative Rehabilitation After Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior Repair

Alyssa D Althoff et al. Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 2023 May.

Abstract

The 4-phase rehabilitation protocol outlined in this article provides a comprehensive 26-week program to return patients with superior labrum anterior posterior repairs to their preinjury states. It is guided by the principle of gradual return to preinjury function while preserving the integrity of the surgical repair. Objective criteria are present at the conclusion of each phase to ensure patients are progressing appropriately. The goal is to allow patients to return to their previous functional ability in their sport-specific or occupational-specific training.
