Rahul Nair, a 68-year-old retired schoolteacher...
Rahul Nair, a 68-year-old retired schoolteacher and avid gardener, began experiencing severe, localized pain in his left shoulder that worsened at night. Diagnosed with a massive rotator cuff tear and advanced arthritis, his orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, explained that the chronic tear had caused the humeral head to collapse and erode the bone, a condition called cuff tear arthropathy. A standard shoulder replacement would likely fail due to the poor bone quality. Dr. Chen recommended a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with bone grafting to reconstruct the damaged socket. Rahul was devastated; his garden was his sanctuary and primary source of joy. He feared losing his independence. The surgery used a graft from a donor bank to build up his glenoid socket. Recovery was challenging, with months of restrictive bracing and therapy. But gradually, the debilitating pain subsided. A year later, Rahul has regained 80% of his range of motion without pain. Emotionally, he transitioned from mourning his active past to adapting with gratitude. He's back tending his roses, using clever adaptive tools, and feels a deep sense of victory in reclaiming a core part of his life.
