It's take 4-6 months , depending on the size of tear.  The first 3 months are focused entirely on healing .Then the next 3 months are focused on strength and functional recovery. You may have to wear a sling for 4-6 weeks.
Health Tips
Avoid moving your arm or shoulder in the following ways , which can interfer with the healing process. * Raising your Arm over your head * Lifting objects * Putting weight on your Arm * Moving your Arm out to the side.
