S/P Rotator Cuff Repair

Definition:
Surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff tendon usually involves removing loose fragment of tendon, bursa, and other debris from the space in the shoulder where the rotator cuff moves. Making more room for the rotator cuff tendon so it is not pinched or irritated. If necessary, this includes shaving bone or removing bone spurs from the point of the shoulder blade. Torn rotator cuff muscles will be sewn back together with either dissolvable or non-dissolvable sutures to repair the muscle for return to function.
