Rotator Cuff Repair in Hyderabad

What is a Rotator Cuff Tear?

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder and allow smooth arm movements. When these tendons are torn—due to injury, overuse, or aging—shoulder motion becomes painful and restricted.

Tears may be:

  • Partial – A frayed or incomplete tear
  • Complete – Full detachment of the tendon from the bone

Without treatment, rotator cuff tears may worsen over time and affect daily function.

Symptoms of a Rotator Cuff Tear

  • Persistent shoulder pain, especially when lifting the arm
  • Weakness in the shoulder
  • Difficulty reaching behind the back
  • Pain while sleeping on the affected side
  • Clicking or popping sounds during movement
