How long is the typical treatment and recovery timeline?

The hospital stay for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is usually 1–2 days. After discharge, patients typically remain in China for 1–2 weeks for initial follow-up and to begin supervised physiotherapy. Full recovery to daily activities takes 4–6 months, with complete return to sports or heavy labor often requiring 6–12 months. A structured rehabilitation plan is provided, and remote follow-up via video consultation is available after returning home.
