The rotator cuff is composed of muscles and tendons that keep the head of your humerus, the bone inside your upper arm, anchored in the shoulder socket. Each supportive muscles group within the joint plays a critical role to a person's range of motion, strength, and overall integrity. Even small tears in a tendon or group of cartilage and limitation the ability to rotate the arm, or extend the shoulder.

Can a Rotator Cuff Tear Be Fixed Non-surgically?
Many rotator cuff tears can be treated nonsurgically. Anti-inflammatory medication, steroid injections, and physical therapy can all prove beneficial. Such treatments aim to relieve pain and restore strength to the injured shoulder.
Though most muscle tears cannot heal on their own. Sufficient function for day-to-day injuries can be achieved without surgery. If full range of motion is necessary for work or sports, however, surgery is typically recommended.
What Surgical Options Are Available For Rotator Cuff Injuries?
The surgical techniques used to repair a muscle tear depends on the nature of the injury. A partial tear may only require a smoothing, trimming procedure known as a debridement. A full tear across a tendon can be repaired side to side. A tear origination from the tendon’s insertion on the humerus, the most common injury, is repaired directly to the bone. Typically, three techniques are used to repair rotator cuffs surgically: traditional open repair, mini-open repair, and arthroscopic repair.
