Why Rotator Cuff Repair Is Needed
Rotator cuff repair is needed when the tendons connecting shoulder muscles to the bone are torn — from a sudden injury like a fall or lifting strain, or from gradual wear and tear due to repetitive overhead activity, aging tendon degeneration, or chronic impingement. Untreated tendinitis or partial tears can progress to full tears requiring surgery.
Signs You May Need Rotator Cuff Repair
Warning signs include persistent shoulder pain especially at night, weakness when lifting the arm or reaching overhead, a crackling sensation with shoulder movement, and limited range of motion that doesn't improve with rest, physiotherapy, or anti-inflammatory treatment.
Types of Rotator Cuff Repair
Repairs can be done via open surgery for large or complex tears, arthroscopic (keyhole) repair using small incisions and a camera for most tears, or a mini-open approach that combines arthroscopic assessment with a small incision for the repair itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do all rotator cuff tears need surgery?
No, small or partial tears often improve with physiotherapy and injections; surgery is generally reserved for larger tears, failed conservative treatment, or active patients needing full strength back.
How long is the recovery?
Full recovery, including strength and range of motion, typically takes 4-6 months, with a sling worn for the first few weeks.
Will I regain full shoulder strength?
Most patients regain good function, though outcomes depend on tear size, tissue quality, and how closely rehabilitation protocols are followed.
Is arthroscopic repair better than open surgery?
Arthroscopic repair generally means smaller scars and less initial pain, but the right technique depends on the size and location of the tear — your orthopedic surgeon will advise.
What happens if I delay surgery?
Delaying treatment can allow the tear to enlarge and the muscle to weaken or shrink, making later repair more difficult, so early evaluation is worthwhile.
