How to prepare for Shoulder Arthroscopy
This is an opportunity to get your body in the best shape possible for surgery, and a good time to prepare your home for your recovery.
Before your surgeon performs the surgery, he or she may have you:
- Get a physical exam
- Adjust certain medications1
- Develop a plan to manage health issues such as diabetes1
You and your caregiver should take this time to familiarise yourselves with the surgery and what to expect. You should also learn what you can do to prepare your home for your rehabilitation.
