FAQs
What causes a rotator cuff tear?
Rotator cuff tears often result from repetitive overhead activities, heavy lifting, or trauma such as falling on an outstretched arm. Degeneration over time can also weaken the tendons, making tears more likely as you age.
How is a rotator cuff tear diagnosed?
Our orthopedic specialists perform a physical exam assessing shoulder strength and range of motion, often followed by imaging tests like MRI or ultrasound to confirm the tear’s size and location.
What are the treatment options for a rotator cuff tear?
Treatment depends on tear severity and patient activity level. Non-surgical options include rest, anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy. Surgery may be recommended for significant tears or if conservative care fails to relieve symptoms.
What does rotator cuff repair surgery involve?
The procedure typically involves reattaching the torn tendon to the bone, often using arthroscopic techniques through small incisions. Recovery includes a period of immobilization followed by guided physical therapy.
How long is the recovery after rotator cuff repair?
Recovery varies but generally ranges from 4 to 6 months to regain full shoulder function. Early motion is carefully managed, and physical therapy plays a key role throughout the rehabilitation process.
