After rotator cuff repair, immobilization is typically achieved using a sling or shoulder immobilizer to keep the arm close to the body and limit movement. The patient may be instructed to keep the arm in a neutral position to avoid stressing the repaired tissue. Depending on the surgeon's protocol, some patients might also use a brace for added support during the initial healing phase. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor recovery and adjust immobilization as needed.
