Understanding the Procedure
What is Rotator Cuff Repair?
Rotator cuff repair is surgery to fix one or more torn tendons of the rotator cuff — the group of four muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint. A torn rotator cuff causes pain, weakness, and inability to lift or rotate the arm.
Arthroscopic repair is performed through 3–4 small portals (5–7mm) using a camera and specialised instruments. The torn tendon is reattached to the bone using titanium or bioabsorbable suture anchors — restoring full shoulder strength and range of motion after rehabilitation.
Signs you may have a rotator cuff tear
- Pain in the shoulder — especially at night or when reaching overhead
- Weakness when lifting or rotating the arm outward
- Crackling or popping sensation in the shoulder
- Difficulty brushing hair or reaching behind the back
- Sudden sharp pain and weakness after a fall or lifting injury
