Rotator Cuff Repair

Effective surgery for rotator cuff repair

Rotator cuff repair is a surgical procedure that is performed to repair a tear in the rotator cuff, which is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint. The procedure is typically done under general anesthesia and involves making small incisions in the shoulder to access the damaged area. The surgeon will then use specialized tools to repair the tear, either by sewing the torn edges back together or by using sutures to reattach the tendon to the bone. In some cases, the surgeon may also need to remove damaged tissue or bone spurs to improve the overall function of the shoulder joint. After the procedure, patients will need to undergo a period of rehabilitation and physical therapy to regain strength and mobility in the shoulder. Overall, rotator cuff repair is a highly effective procedure that can help to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life for patients with rotator cuff injuries.
