What Is a Rotator Cuff Tear?
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize and move the shoulder joint. Tears can be partial or full-thickness, causing:
- Shoulder pain, especially during overhead movements
- Weakness or difficulty lifting the arm
- Limited range of motion
- Night pain disrupting sleep
Surgical repair reconnects torn tendons to the bone, restores function, and reduces the risk of long-term disability.
Comprehensive Surgery & Rehabilitation Process
1. Pre-Surgery Evaluation
- Detailed medical and activity history
- Physical examination to assess pain, strength, and range of motion
- Imaging studies (MRI or ultrasound) for precise assessment
2. Surgical Procedure
- Minimally invasive arthroscopic repair or open tendon repair depending on tear severity
- Preservation of surrounding tissue for optimal healing
- Tendon suturing and reinforcement techniques
3. Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
- Early controlled range-of-motion exercises
- Gradual strengthening programs
- Sport-specific or activity-specific rehabilitation
- Education on injury prevention and safe return to activity
