Postoperative rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair is essential for a positive patient outcome. Each patient should have a program tailored to their individual tear and repair characteristics. Their plan should be advanced according to their progress, with therapist and surgeon communication. The rehabilitation progresses through 4 stages. This begins with a period of immobilization, passive range of motion, and protecting the repair and ends with functional and sport-specific exercises. Rehabilitation advances in progress-based steps during 24 weeks. The rehabilitation process aims to balance healing of the tendon repair and the risk of postoperative stiffness.

Objective: To assess the dynamic mandibular movement of patients with condylar hyperplasia before and after simultaneous orthognathic surgery and condylectomy through an intraoral approach.

Methods: Two groups of patients diagnosed with unilateral condylar hyperplasia were studied: the preoperative group consisted of 23 patients and the postoperative group consisted of 13 patients who had undergone simultaneous orthognathic surgery and condylectomy through an intraoral approach with follow-up for more than 1 year. The normal reference value was obtained from 11 individuals without oral and maxillofacial diseases.
