Overview
Brief Summary
The investigators's aim is to examine trunk and upper extremity edema after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and/or labrum repair surgeries. During surgery, the shoulder joint capsule is cut and the joint is entered arthroscopically. During this procedure, approximately 3-6 liters of saline fluid is injected into the joint, depending on the duration of the surgery. The given fluid accumulates out of the joint in relation to the duration of the surgery and the amount of fluid given. In this study, the investigators aim is to examine how much the extra-articular fluid collects under the skin of the upper extremity and trunk, and the change in the amount of fluid 24 hours after surgery. Examination of the amount of subcutaneous fluid may help to better understand the postoperative complications such as edema, carpal tunnel syndrome, compartment syndrome, myolysis, and dyspnea. How much edema the joint and surrounding structures are exposed to and its relationship with the duration of surgery can help to clinicians determine the safe discharge time.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Edema
Time Frame: 3 months
After the MoistureMeterD Compact local edema measuring device is placed perpendicular to the area to be measured, it will be held for 3 seconds and the percent moisture value will be recorded. 3 measurements will be made for each region. The average of the 3 measurements will be used in the statistical analysis.
Secondary Outcomes
- Surgery time(3 months)
- Amount of the saline(3 months)
