Rotator cuff repair: surgical procedure for shoulder injury
Repairing the rotator cuff is a surgical procedure that aims to fix a tear or injury in the tendons and muscles that connect the shoulder blade to the upper arm bone. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves making small incisions in the shoulder to access the damaged area. The surgeon will then reattach the torn tendons and muscles to the bone using sutures or anchors. Recovery time can vary depending on the severity of the injury, but physical therapy is often required to regain strength and mobility in the shoulder.
