    Hi, Pen:

    Not quite understanding your situation and question.

    You had a previous 'open' shoulder rotator cuff surgery? And now you are having another surgery arthoscopic or open for the same issue? What exactly is the problem with your shoulder: rotators, labrum, bicep, etc?

    In any case, it's a good idea to trust your surgeon and be able to honestly communicate with them so the outcome is to your best advantage.
