3 DaysRotator cuff surgery is a medical procedure designed to repair torn or damaged tendons in the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff comprises a group of muscles and tendons that provide stability and enable a wide range of shoulder movements. Injuries to this area often result in pain, weakness, and restricted mobility, necessitating surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail.
Rotator cuff injuries can occur due to various reasons, including repetitive overhead motions, heavy lifting, traumatic injuries, or age-related wear and tear. Athletes, particularly those in sports like baseball, tennis, or swimming, are at a higher risk. Additionally, individuals engaged in physically demanding jobs are prone to degenerative tears over time.
Common symptoms indicating the need for rotator cuff surgery include persistent shoulder pain, difficulty lifting or rotating the arm, weakness in the shoulder, and a noticeable decrease in shoulder function. If these symptoms persist despite physical therapy or medication, surgical repair may be recommended to restore mobility and alleviate discomfort.

During rotator cuff surgery, the surgeon reattaches the torn tendon to the bone using sutures, anchors, or screws. In cases of severe damage, tissue grafts or tendon transfers may be required. The procedure typically lasts one to two hours and is performed under general or regional anesthesia. Advances in surgical techniques ensure precision and minimize recovery time.
Rehabilitation plays a vital role in the success of rotator cuff surgery. Patients usually wear a sling to immobilize the shoulder for the first few weeks. Physical therapy begins shortly after to regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion. The recovery timeline varies, but most individuals return to normal activities within four to six months with consistent rehabilitation efforts.
