Rotator Cuff Surgery
Rotator cuff surgery is a medical procedure aimed at repairing tears in the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. This surgery is often recommended for individuals experiencing persistent pain or weakness that does not improve with physical therapy or other non-surgical treatments.
The surgery can be performed using an open technique or minimally invasive arthroscopy. During the procedure, the surgeon reattaches the torn tendon to the humerus bone, allowing for better shoulder function and reduced pain. Recovery typically involves physical therapy to restore strength and mobility.
