Orthobolids Podcast: A Daily Audio Review of Slap Repair Rehabilitation

The most common type two slap repair rehabilitation protocols focus on limited passive range of motion followed by regaining active motion, then finally strengthening and sport specific activities. The initial passive motion is often limited from zero to 90 degrees of forward elevation during the first four weeks. This helps prevent stiffness but also avoids stressing the repair site at the extremes of motion. Active motion is then initiated in a limited arc of motion to restrank then the shoulder. Sport specific activities are progressively trained from eight to 16 weeks.
