Rotator Cuff Tears & Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator cuff disease is very common population since our anatomy predisposes to more impingement in the shoulder compared to the western population.
What is impingement?
Essentially during the movement of the shoulder joint there should be no contact of the bone with the tendon; however in individuals with abnormal shoulder anatomy or poor posture there can be abnormal contact between the bone and the rotator cuff tendon that can lead to degenerative tears of the rotator cuff. This is the main mechanism of rotator cuff disease in individuals above 50 yrs.
Rotator cuff tears also a rise in a posttraumatic scenario in more younger population subgroup.
Symptoms:
Pain in/around the shoulder joint
Night pain
Difficulty in overheads/ reaching behind the back
Rotator Cuff Tear
Repaired Rotator Cuff
Treatment
At Dr. LH Hiranandani Hospital we offer the whole gamut of solutions to manage rotator cuff tears. Management of a rotator cuff tear depends on the age of the patient, severity of the symptoms and the size of the tear. Generally in younger individuals with acute injuries and traumatic tears arthroscopic repair of the torn rotator cuff gives excellent results.
In individuals between the age of 50 to 70 generally the rotator cuff tears are degenerative due to age or as a result of impingement syndrome. In smallertears an initial trial of non -operative treatment, physiotherapy, activity modification &intra articular injections may relieve the pain. In largest tears and individuals who do not respond to the non-operative regimen an Arthroscopic repair is advisable.
Arthroscopic repair since it is done through small cuts on the shoulder the recovery is faster.Individuals can be discharged the next day of the procedure; physical therapy is initiated on day one after the surgery to improve the recovery and strength of the shoulder. There is stage -wise rehabilitation protocol to be followed that gives excellent results in this age group.In elderly people above the age of 80 years with significant loss of shoulder function and weakness, large rotator cuff tears there are other options like shoulder replacement which have shown very good results
