What is Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery?
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow smooth arm movement. A rotator cuff tear can occur due to aging, repetitive overhead activities, sports injuries, or trauma. Depending on the severity of the tear, treatment may include physiotherapy or arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery.
