Rotator Cuff Tear Repair
Rebuilding shoulder strength and restoring confidence.
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that stabilize the shoulder. Tears arise from injury, overuse, or age-related degeneration — we diagnose precisely and tailor the repair.
What Is a Rotator Cuff Tear?
We assess tear size, tendon quality, and muscle atrophy with clinical tests and imaging to decide between conservative care and arthroscopic repair.
Treatment Options
- Partial tears: Rest, physiotherapy, PRP injections.
- Full-thickness tears: Arthroscopic (keyhole) repair using suture anchors.
- Massive tears: Reconstruction or superior capsular reconstruction when indicated.
