Rotator Cuff Surgery
Rotator Cuff Surgery
What is the Rotator Cuff?
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and allow you to lift, rotate, and move your arm. Injuries to the rotator cuff are common and may occur due to aging, repetitive overhead activities, heavy lifting, or sudden trauma.
When the rotator cuff is torn, it can cause persistent pain, weakness, and limited shoulder movement. If non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, medications, or injections fail to relieve symptoms, rotator cuff surgery may be required.
What is Rotator Cuff Surgery?
Rotator cuff surgery is a procedure performed to repair torn tendons of the shoulder and restore normal joint function. At Padma Clinic & Ortho Center, our orthopedic surgeons use advanced arthroscopic (keyhole) and minimally invasive techniques to repair the rotator cuff with smaller incisions, faster recovery, and reduced pain compared to open surgery.
Who Needs Rotator Cuff Surgery?
You may need rotator cuff surgery if you experience:
Persistent shoulder pain that does not improve with conservative treatment
Difficulty lifting or rotating your arm
Weakness or loss of shoulder strength
A large or complete tear confirmed on MRI or ultrasound
Shoulder pain that interferes with daily activities or sleep
Rotator Cuff Surgery Procedure – Step by Step
Anesthesia – The procedure is performed under general or regional anesthesia.
Arthroscopic Access – Small incisions are made, and a tiny camera is inserted to visualize the joint.
Debridement – Damaged tissue is cleaned, and bone spurs (if present) are removed.
Tendon Repair – Torn tendons are reattached to the bone using sutures and small anchors.
Closure – Incisions are closed with stitches, and a dressing is applied.
In some cases, if the tear is large or complex, an open repair or tendon transfer may be performed.
Benefits of Rotator Cuff Surgery
Relief from chronic shoulder pain
Improved arm strength and mobility
Restored ability to perform daily tasks and overhead movements
Prevents further damage and progression of arthritis
Faster return to work, sports, and active lifestyle
Post-Operative Care & Recovery
Recovery is a gradual process supported by our rehabilitation team:
Immobilization: A sling is used for the first few weeks to protect the repair.
Physiotherapy: Gentle motion exercises begin early, followed by strengthening programs.
Activity Restrictions: Heavy lifting and overhead activities are avoided for several months.
Recovery Timeline: Most patients regain functional movement within 3–6 months, with full recovery in 6–9 months.
Risks and Complications
Though rotator cuff surgery is safe and effective, possible risks may include:
Stiffness or reduced range of motion
Infection
Nerve injury (rare)
Re-tear of the tendon in severe cases
Delayed healing in patients with diabetes or smokers
At Padma Clinic & Ortho Center, we use advanced surgical techniques and personalized rehabilitation to minimize risks and optimize outcomes.
