Larry Bunner illustrates his rotator cuff repair:

I'm two months into rehab and things are going great. I'm at least
one month ahead of the recovery when compared to my left shoulder. I have full
range of motion and am pain free. Just started stretch band therapy and am
amazed at the strength I have. For some reason I didn't atrophy as much this
time. I feel like I'm only a couple weeks away from being ready to fly ,but most
likely it won't be until mid to late January. The pictures below are first of
the large tear, the second, the repair. Note the mesh type anchoring of the
tendon. I think this resulted in quicker healing.
