Rotator Cuff FAQs

What is a rotator cuff tear?

Your rotator cuff is a group of tendons that keep your shoulder joint in its socket. These tendons attach your upper arm bone to your shoulder blade and make it possible for you to lift and rotate your arm.

You can develop tears in your rotator cuff from overuse injuries or trauma. Tears can be partial or full-thickness tears. A full-thickness tear causes the tendon to completely separate from the bone.

What are the symptoms of a rotator cuff tear?

A rotator cuff tear can be painful, especially if you lay on the affected shoulder. You may also experience pain and weakness when you lift or lower your arm.

If you develop a rotator cuff tear from a fall, you may feel intense pain soon after the injury. You may also hear a snapping or cracking sound.

You might be limited in what you can do with your shoulder and find it difficult to reach your arm over your head to do things like wash your hair or remove your shirt.

What treatments are available for rotator cuff tears?

Nonsurgical treatments for a rotator cuff tear focus on healing the damaged tissue and easing your pain. You may benefit from over-the-counter anti-inflammatories and pain relievers to keep you comfortable.
If you’re not getting relief from your pain and do not notice improved mobility with conservative therapies, you may be a candidate for shoulder surgery.
The goal of rotator cuff surgery for a full-thickness tear is to repair torn tissue and reattach the tendon to the head of your upper arm bone. Omar D. Hussamy and the team use Smith+Nephew® rotator repair implants to replace severely damaged tendons.

When the tear is only partial, Omar D. Hussamy may trim the tendon during a procedure known as debridement.

What can I expect after rotator cuff surgery?

Elbow FAQs

Why would I need elbow surgery?

What can I expect from elbow surgery?

During the procedure, small incisions are made to insert a camera and specialized instruments. Expect reduced post-operative pain and scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
