I had a rotator cuff repair 15yrs ago. The rotator tore off again. Another surgeon tried to repair my rotator cuff but the tendons we no longer long enough to reattach. Dr Shah said he could do a tendon transfer from a cadaver. Before the surgery I could not raise my hand to shake someone’s hand. After 12 weeks of recovery, I can full lift my arm up over my head. I am hopeful for a full recovery as I rebuild my strength. Tendon transfers really do work!
