What is the Rotator Cuff?

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. These structures keep the head of the upper arm bone (humerus) firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder (glenoid).
When the rotator cuff is injured or torn, it can cause pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm. Tears may occur suddenly due to injury or gradually due to degeneration over time.

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. These structures keep the head of the upper arm bone (humerus) firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder (glenoid).
When the rotator cuff is injured or torn, it can cause pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm. Tears may occur suddenly due to injury or gradually due to degeneration over time.

causes

Traumatic Causes:

  • Sudden fall on an outstretched arm
  • Lifting heavy weights abruptly
  • Shoulder dislocation or accident-related injury

Degenerative Causes:

  • Age-related tendon wear and tear
  • Repetitive overhead activities (swimming, tennis, painting)
  • Poor posture or shoulder impingement
  • Reduced blood supply to shoulder tendons with aging

Individuals above 40 years of age and athletes involved in repetitive shoulder movements are at a higher risk of developing rotator cuff tears.

Common signs and symptoms include:

  • Persistent pain in the shoulder, especially at night
  • Weakness when lifting or rotating the arm
  • Limited range of motion
  • Cracking or clicking sound while moving the shoulder
  • Difficulty performing overhead activities such as combing hair or reaching for objects

If left untreated, a rotator cuff tear can enlarge, leading to permanent loss of function and arthritis of the shoulder joint.

Medical diagnosis procedure

Diagnosis of Rotator Cuff Injury

Accurate diagnosis helps determine the type and extent of the tear. At Pristyn Care Archanal, evaluation includes:

  • Physical Examination: Checking pain points, strength, and movement limitation.
  • X-rays: To rule out bone spurs or arthritis.
  • Ultrasound or MRI Scan: To identify partial or complete tendon tears and assess surrounding muscle quality.

Based on findings, the surgeon recommends conservative or surgical treatment.

Treatment Options for Rotator Cuff Tears

The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the tear, patient’s age, activity level, and functional needs.

1. Non-Surgical Management (for mild or partial tears)

  • Rest and avoidance of aggravating activities
  • Physiotherapy to strengthen shoulder muscles
  • Anti-inflammatory medications and pain relief
  • Corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation

If pain and weakness persist after 6–8 weeks of conservative therapy, surgery may be considered.

2. Surgical Management – Rotator Cuff Repair

Surgery aims to reattach the torn tendon to the head of the humerus and restore shoulder mechanics.

  1. Arthroscopic Repair:
    Performed through small incisions using a camera and instruments. This minimally invasive approach offers less pain, faster healing, and minimal scarring.
  2. Mini-Open Repair:
    Combines arthroscopy for tendon visualization and a small open incision for repair. Suitable for larger or complex tears.
  3. Open Repair:
    Used in severe or chronic cases where extensive tendon reattachment or reconstruction is needed.

Advantages of Arthroscopic Repair:

  • Small incisions and minimal tissue trauma
  • Reduced post-operative pain
  • Faster rehabilitation and recovery
  • Low risk of infection

Excellent cosmetic outcome
