Rotator Cuff Tears

Rotator cuff tears are a common shoulder injury that occurs when one or more of the four muscles and their associated tendons in the shoulder joint become damaged or torn. These tears can result from acute injuries, such as falls or lifting heavy objects, or from chronic wear and tear due to repetitive overhead activities. Symptoms often include shoulder pain, weakness, limited range of motion, and difficulty performing everyday tasks, such as reaching overhead or lifting objects. At Khadke Hospital, our skilled orthopedic specialists provide comprehensive care for patients suffering from rotator cuff tears, helping them achieve effective pain relief and restore shoulder function.

The diagnosis of a rotator cuff tear begins with a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history and a physical examination to assess shoulder strength and range of motion. Imaging studies, such as X-rays or MRIs, may be conducted to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the extent of the tear. Based on the findings, our healthcare team will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs. Initial management often involves conservative approaches, including physical therapy, pain management, and activity modification to promote healing and strengthen the surrounding shoulder muscles.

In cases where conservative treatment does not provide adequate relief or when the tear is severe, surgical intervention may be necessary. Surgical options include arthroscopic repair, where small incisions are made to repair the torn tendon, or open surgery for more complex cases. At Khadke Hospital, our orthopedic surgeons utilize advanced techniques and technology to ensure precision and optimal outcomes. Following surgery, a comprehensive rehabilitation program is implemented to help patients regain strength, flexibility, and function in the shoulder joint. With a focus on compassionate, patient-centered care, Khadke Hospital is dedicated to supporting individuals with rotator cuff tears on their journey to recovery and improved quality of life.
