Rotator Cuff Partial Tear

Definition:
A rotator cuff tear is a common cause of pain and disability among adults. A torn rotator cuff will weaken your shoulder. This means that many daily activities, like combing your hair or getting dressed, may become painful and difficult to do. This type of tear damages the soft tissue, but does not completely sever it.
