What is Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery?
Rotator cuff repair surgery reattaches torn tendons to the humerus (upper arm bone) to restore function and reduce pain. Depending on the extent of the tear, the procedure may involve trimming or smoothing damaged tissue (debridement) or stitching the tendon back to the bone.

Causes of Rotator Cuff Tears and Treatment Options
Rotator cuff tears generally result from two main causes: injury and degeneration.
- Acute Tear: Occurs due to a sudden injury, such as falling on an outstretched arm or lifting something too heavy.
- Degenerative Tear: Often develops gradually with age as tendons weaken over time. Factors like repetitive stress, reduced blood supply, and bone spurs also contribute to these chronic tears.
Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Tear
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, you may have a rotator cuff tear that could benefit from surgical repair:
- Persistent pain, especially at night or while resting on the affected shoulder
- Pain during specific movements, like lifting or rotating your arm
- Weakness in the shoulder when lifting or rotating the arm
- Crackling or grating sensation with certain shoulder motions
The Rotator Cuff Repair Procedure
During the procedure, a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into your shoulder joint to provide a clear view. The surgeon then uses small instruments guided by the arthroscope to repair the damaged tendon. This minimally invasive approach requires smaller incisions, reducing pain, joint stiffness, and recovery time.
Recovery After Rotator Cuff Repair
Recovery from rotator cuff repair typically takes about 6-8 weeks. Key aspects of the recovery process include:
- Sling Use: You’ll wear an arm sling for the first 4 weeks to stabilize the shoulder and allow the tendon to heal.
- Physical Therapy: Guided exercises help strengthen and restore function to your shoulder. Your surgeon will provide a tailored recovery plan.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Some changes may be recommended to protect your shoulder and reduce the risk of re-injury.
