Looking for feedback on this. I snapped my supraspinatous tendon in a fall, and it  was repaired with a graft two months ago. Has anyone had a rotator cuff graft repair done, and if so what was the recovery time and outcome. Thanks in advance for any information.

In reply to Root1:

I snapped my supraspinatus and infraspinatus in December 2009 and was unable to lift or use my arm at all, I eventually had surgery 9 months later in August 2010 to repair both. I was able to start climbing 8 months later after intense physio. The muscle loss was enormous mainly due to the time being unable to use my arm for the 9 months between the snapping and the surgery. My shoulder has never really recovered the muscle loss and I have had to adapt the way I climb. Good luck with your recovery.
