font-size: 14px; color: #444;\"\u003eAfter rotator cuff repair, the repaired tendon must be protected while it heals and reattaches to the bone — a process that typically takes 6–12 weeks. A shoulder immobilization brace like the Ossur Formfit holds the arm in a controlled position, preventing accidental movements that could re-tear the repair. Immobilization reduces tension on the sutures, promotes proper tissue healing, and is a standard post-operative protocol prescribed by orthopedic surgeons worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 10px; padding: 14px 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 15px; cursor: pointer; list-style: none;\"\u003eWhat is shoulder instability and how does a brace help?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 10px 0 0; font-size: 14px; color: #444;\"\u003eShoulder instability occurs when the structures that surround the shoulder joint — including the labrum, ligaments, and rotator cuff tendons — are too loose or torn, allowing the humeral head (ball) to slip partially or fully out of the glenoid socket. This can result from a traumatic dislocation or develop gradually from repetitive overhead activity. A shoulder brace limits the range of motion that places the joint at risk, reducing the chance of repeat dislocation while soft tissue structures heal or recover from surgical repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 10px; padding: 14px 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 15px; cursor: pointer; list-style: none;\"\u003eWhy is the arm held in abduction after certain shoulder surgeries?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 10px 0 0; font-size: 14px; color: #444;\"\u003eAbduction — holding the arm away from the body at an angle — reduces tension on the repaired rotator cuff tendons by bringing the muscle attachment points closer together. This is especially important after large or massive rotator cuff tears where the tendon has retracted significantly. Surgeons typically prescribe 20–30 degrees of abduction positioning for 4–6 weeks post-operatively to allow the tendon to heal under minimal stress. The Ossur Formfit Abduction Pillow maintains this precise positioning throughout the recovery period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 10px; padding: 14px 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 15px; cursor: pointer; list-style: none;\"\u003eWhen is external rotation positioning required after shoulder surgery?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 10px 0 0; font-size: 14px; color: #444;\"\u003eExternal rotation bracing is prescribed after surgeries that repair the anterior (front) structures of the shoulder, such as Bankart repairs for recurrent anterior dislocation or subscapularis tendon repairs. Positioning the arm in external rotation places the repaired tissue in a relaxed, low-tension state, reducing the risk of re-injury during the critical early healing phase. Your surgeon will specify the exact degree of external rotation and the duration of bracing required based on your specific procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; border-radius: 10px; padding: 14px 16px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: 15px; cursor: pointer; list-style: none;\"\u003eHow long will I need to wear a shoulder brace after surgery?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 10px 0 0; font-size: 14px; color: #444;\"\u003eWearing duration depends on the type and extent of your surgery. Most rotator cuff repairs require immobilization for 4–6 weeks, while more complex reconstructions may require up to 8 weeks of bracing. Shoulder dislocation repairs typically require 3–6 weeks. Your orthopedic surgeon will provide a specific protocol based on your procedure, tissue quality, and healing progress. Always follow your surgeon’s instructions — removing the brace too early is one of the most common causes of re-injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003csection style=\"border: 1px solid #e5e5e5; background: #fafafa; padding: 14px 16px; border-radius: 14px; margin: 18px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFSA\/HSA Eligible\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships from NJ or CA warehouse in 2–3 business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 13px; color: #555;\"\u003eOrthoTape.com is an authorized Ossur dealer.
