Contact UsRotator cuff surgery is a procedure aimed at repairing a torn tendon in the shoulder. It helps restore the shoulder’s function and alleviate pain.
Rotator cuff surgery is recommended for individuals with a torn rotator cuff tendon that causes persistent pain or limits shoulder mobility, especially when non-surgical treatments have failed.
Common symptoms of a rotator cuff tear include shoulder pain, weakness, and difficulty lifting the arm. Some people may also experience a cracking sensation when moving their shoulder.
Recovery from rotator cuff surgery typically takes several months, with full recovery often occurring within six months to a year. Physical therapy is essential during the recovery process.
As with any surgery, rotator cuff surgery carries risks, including infection, stiffness, and re-tearing of the tendon. However, these risks are relatively low and can be minimized with proper post-operative care.
Rotator cuff surgery is generally highly effective, with most patients experiencing significant pain relief and improved shoulder function after the procedure.
While not all rotator cuff tears can be prevented, maintaining good shoulder strength, flexibility, and practicing proper techniques during physical activities can reduce the risk.
