Overview of Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator cuff repair is a surgical procedure to repair torn tendons in the shoulder. It helps restore shoulder movement and reduces pain. It is typically performed when non-surgical methods like physical therapy and medications have not provided relief.
Arthroscopic Technique for Rotator Cuff Repair
In rotator cuff repair surgery, small incisions are made around the shoulder to insert an arthroscope—a small camera—and specialized instruments. The surgeon trims the damaged tendon edges and reattaches the tendon securely to the bone using suture anchors. The procedure uses tools like shaver systems, RF cautery machines, sheaths, and surgical cameras for clear visualization and precise work. These instruments ensure minimal damage to surrounding tissue and enhance healing. The surgeon may choose between an open approach or a minimally invasive arthroscopic method. A sling or immobilizer is typically used post-surgery to protect the repair and support recovery.

- To improve shoulder function and mobility when conservative treatments fail
- To prevent further degeneration of the tendon and surrounding muscles
- To restore normal daily and athletic shoulder activities
- To reduce risk of future joint damage or degeneration due to instability
