As one of the most common shoulder conditions, a rotator cuff tear refers to the partial or complete tearing of tendons from the humerus, resulting in pain and limited shoulder function.
Tearing of the rotator cuff can stem from a combination of age-related degeneration and overuse, or injury.
Depending on the extent of the tear, treatment for rotator cuff tears can include conservative methods like medications or physiotherapy to reduce pain and improve shoulder function. This is usually reserved for mild to moderate tears.
In cases of severe tears, rotator cuff repair may be required, where the tendon is reattached to the bone using sutures or anchors to restore shoulder function and flexibility.
