@nrb1942 - there really wasn't any extra equipment I needed for my reverse TSR. Just make sure that they will be giving you an immobilizer type sling with velcro attachments for elbow and wrist, and not a traditional shoulder sling. The immobilizer allows you to detach your wrist as needed for small tasks moving your hand forward, but still keeps your shoulder immobile, being firmly attached to the waist at the elbow.

Thanks very much. I've been told an immobilizer will be given to me at the hospital after the surgery. It does sound helpful to use your wrist a bit, while keeping the shoulder protected.
