Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator Cuff Repair is a surgical procedure aimed at fixing tears in the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. This injury often occurs due to repetitive overhead activities or aging. The surgery can be performed using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive arthroscopy, depending on the severity of the tear.
During the procedure, the surgeon reattaches the torn tendon to the humerus bone using sutures or anchors. After surgery, patients typically undergo a rehabilitation program to restore strength and mobility in the shoulder, which can take several months for full recovery.
