Shoulder Rotator Cuff Repair Arthroscopic. Tears of the rotator cuff of the shoulder are potentially painful and disabling conditions. The person with a rotator cuff tear can have a sudden or gradual onset of shoulder pain with or without weakness. Although tears can occur as a result of a traumatic injury, many tears occur gradually and no specific injury can be recalled. The pain associated with rotator cuff tears is usually located at the front and side of the shoulder or upper arm, and is frequently described as having an aching or burning quality. The pain usually occurs with overhead motions, but can progress to the point that it is present with normal activities or wake the patient during sleep. Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a valuable tool to treat rotator cuff tears. Using the scope, a surgeon can evaluate the entire shoulder joint and can usually fix the tear through very small incisions using specially-designed instruments and devices. The goals of repair are to restore normal and painless motion and full strength to the affected shoulder.
