Rotator Cuff Tears | Knee problems

Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator Cuff Tears are most often the result of impingement, partial thickness rotator cuff tears, heavy lifting or falls. Nonoperative treatment with modification of activity can be successful.

If you continue to have pain, surgery may be needed. Surgery may be necessary to repair full thickness rotator cuff tears. Arthroscopic techniques allow shaving of spurs, evaluation of the rotator cuff and repair of some tears. Both techniques require extensive rehabilitation to restore the function of the shoulder.
