Do you Know Rotator Cuff Tears Commonly Occur Among Sportspeople?
The rotator cuff is a name given to the combination of four muscles around the shoulder joint. They are namely supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. They originate from the scapula and form a cuff before inserting over the upper part of the arm bone named humerus. The most important function of these is stability as well as the lifting of the arm.

Most rotator cuff tears can be treated without surgical intervention. But the patient has to avoid future usage of the shoulders for severe activities like playing sports again. For such situations, surgery is the best option. It heals the tear and returns the effective function of your shoulder. These patients can leave the hospital in 1 day and can start their physio in 2 weeks. When left and treated this tear can severely reduce the functions and shoulder movements.
