ROTATOR CUFF TEAR
ROTATOR CUFF TEAR
The rotator cuff grouping consists of muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint. These keep the head of the humerous firmly in the shoulder socket joint. Injuries vary from traumatic tears requiring surgery to repetitive occupational or sport strains. An orthopedic doctor will use X-rays, MRIs or ultrasound to determine the severity of the injury.
Rest, ice, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections are frequently used treatments. Many surgery options also exist. Stem cell injections and prp treatments are also employed.
