Rotator Cuff Tear – Advanced Care for Shoulder Strength & Mobility

Understanding Rotator Cuff Tear

A Rotator Cuff Tear is a common shoulder injury that affects the muscles and tendons responsible for lifting and rotating the arm. This condition can lead to pain, weakness, and difficulty performing everyday activities. At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah, a trusted Orthopedic Doctor in Gota, Ahmedabad, offers expert diagnosis and advanced treatment options for rotator cuff injuries, helping patients regain shoulder strength and function.

What is the Rotator Cuff?

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow for smooth arm movement. A tear can occur due to injury, degeneration, or repetitive strain—especially in athletes or people over the age of 40.

Types of Rotator Cuff Tears

• Partial Tear – The tendon is damaged but not completely detached from the bone.
• Complete Tear – The tendon is fully separated from the bone, often requiring surgical repair.

Common Causes

• Acute injury – Sudden trauma like a fall or lifting something heavy
• Degenerative wear and tear – Age-related changes in tendon structure
• Repetitive overhead activity – Common in athletes (e.g., swimmers, tennis players) and certain occupations

Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Tear

• Shoulder pain – Especially while lifting, lowering, or at night
• Weakness – Difficulty raising or rotating the arm
• Clicking or popping – Sensation during shoulder movement
• Limited range of motion – Trouble reaching behind the back or overhead

Treatment Options

Dr. Amish Shah provides both non-surgical and surgical solutions based on the tear’s severity:

• Conservative Treatment – Includes rest, anti-inflammatory medication, physiotherapy, and steroid injections.
• Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair – A minimally invasive surgery using a tiny camera to reattach the torn tendon and restore function.
• Rehabilitation – Personalized physiotherapy to rebuild strength and improve mobility after treatment or surgery.
