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.
