ROTATOR CUFF TEAR
Rotator cuff tear is a very common problem. Rotator cuff muscles are
- Supraspinatus
- Infraspinatus
- Subscapularis
- Teres Minor
These muscles control the rotational movements of the shoulder and also contribute to the stability of the shoulder joint.
A tear in any of these muscle tendons is called a rotator cuff tear. The most common tendon torn among these is the supraspinatus.
The patients with supraspinatus tendon tears have difficulty in moving their shoulders overhead. These movements are often very painful. Night pains are also common. When completely torn, a drop arm sign is positive, where the patient has difficulty in maintaining his/her arm in the air and it drops under gravity. These patients often are unable to raise the arm at all.
The treatment of this problem ofter requires shoulder arthroscopy and rotator cuff repair.
