Understanding Rotator Cuff Repair & Who’s a Candidate

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and allow you to lift and rotate your arm. Tears can occur due to sudden injuries, overuse or degeneration, leading to persistent pain, weakness and limited motion. Rotator cuff repair surgery restores function by reattaching the torn tendon to the bone using sutures and anchors. Our surgeons perform both arthroscopic repairs (using tiny incisions and a camera) and open or mini‑open techniques when larger tears require direct access.

You may be a candidate for rotator cuff repair if:

  • You experience chronic shoulder pain and weakness despite conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy and injections.
  • A sudden injury or accident has caused a traumatic tear.
  • Degenerative changes from repetitive motions or aging have led to a partial or complete tear.
  • You wish to restore full range of motion and return to work, sports or daily activities without pain.
