Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery

Rotator cuff repair is a surgical procedure performed to mend torn tendons in the shoulder. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilise the shoulder joint and allow for smooth arm movement.

Who Is Eligible for Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery?

Not everyone with a rotator cuff injury needs surgery. The decision depends on a variety of factors, including:

  • Severity of Symptoms: Individuals experiencing ongoing shoulder pain, weakness, or difficulty performing everyday tasks like lifting the arm may be candidates.
  • Non-Responsive to Non-Surgical Treatment: If rest, medications, and physiotherapy do not provide relief, surgery is considered.
  • Size and Type of Tear: Large, full-thickness, or complex tears are more likely to require surgical repair.
  • Age and Activity Level: Active individuals and younger patients with good overall health generally benefit more from surgical repair, but older individuals with good shoulder function may also qualify depending on their goals and health condition.

    • How is Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery Performed?

    Rotator cuff repair surgery can be carried out in several ways, depending on the type and severity of the tear:


  • Anaesthesia: The patient is typically placed under general anaesthesia.
  • Arthroscopic Repair: A minimally invasive method using small incisions and a camera (arthroscope) to guide surgical tools.
  • Mini-Open Repair: Combines arthroscopy with a small open incision to complete the repair.
  • Open Repair: A larger incision is made when the damage is extensive and better visibility is needed.
  • Repair Process: The torn tendon is reattached to the bone (humerus) using sutures and small anchors. Bone spurs, if present, are also removed.
  • Closure:The incision is stitched, and the area is covered with a sterile dressing. A sling is usually provided to support the arm during the healing phase.
