A rotator cuff tear is damage to the group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint that aid in lifting and rotating the arms. Rotator cuff tears are common in sports like baseball or tennis and in accidents where there is a direct injury to the shoulder joint.
Rest, medications, physiotherapy, and steroid injections for pain relief are the primary modes of treatment.In cases where the symptoms persist, surgical intervention is necessary. Surgery involves repair of the joint or reconstruction, depending on the extent of damage.
