Condition

Rotator Cuff Tear

A rotator cuff tear in Nanded affects the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint, causing pain and limited mobility. This degenerative condition commonly occurs with aging, repetitive overhead activities, or sudden injury. Dr Sushil Rangdal provides comprehensive robotic orthopedic treatment for optimal recovery outcomes.

Types

Types of rotator cuff tear.

Partial Thickness TearFull Thickness TearMassive Rotator Cuff Tear

Partial Thickness Tear

Incomplete tearing of the rotator cuff tendon affecting only part of the tendon thickness, often causing localized pain and weakness

Full Thickness Tear

Complete disruption of the rotator cuff tendon extending through its entire thickness, resulting in significant functional impairment

Massive Rotator Cuff Tear

Extensive tears involving multiple tendons or tears greater than 5cm, often requiring complex surgical reconstruction techniques

Causes

What causes rotator cuff tear?

Multiple factors can contribute to the development and progression of this condition.

Age-related degeneration
Repetitive overhead activities
Acute trauma or injury
Poor blood supply to tendons
Symptoms

Signs to look out for.

Rotator Cuff Tear develops gradually. Recognising symptoms early gives you more treatment options.

Early StageMild discomfort
Mild shoulder pain with overhead activities
Occasional weakness during lifting
Night pain when lying on affected side
ModerateIncreasing impact
Persistent shoulder pain and stiffness
Noticeable weakness in arm elevation
Difficulty reaching behind back
AdvancedSignificant limitation
Severe constant shoulder pain
Significant loss of shoulder strength
Complete inability to lift arm overhead

What happens if Rotator Cuff Tear is left untreated?

Untreated rotator cuff tears typically worsen over time, leading to progressive muscle weakness, chronic pain, and shoulder arthritis. The tear may enlarge and become irreparable, resulting in permanent functional disability and the need for more complex procedures.

When should you see a doctor?

Consult Dr Sushil Rangdal if you experience persistent shoulder pain lasting more than a few days, weakness when lifting your arm, or inability to sleep on the affected shoulder. Early evaluation and treatment can prevent tear progression and preserve shoulder function.
