Rotator cuff tears

Rotator cuff tears are injuries to the group of muscles and tendons stabilising the shoulder joint, often resulting from acute trauma or chronic degeneration. Clinically, they can lead to pain, weakness, and limited range of motion, significantly impacting daily activities and quality of life. A common complication is shoulder impingement syndrome, where the tear contributes to further inflammation and pain during arm movements, necessitating careful management and rehabilitation.
