Rotator Cuff Injuries

The rotator cuff is a term used to describe the tendons and muscles that support and stabilize the shoulder an allow such great range of motion in the joint. Theses four muscles include the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor.

A torn rotator cuff muscle can severely limit movement and strength in the shoulder joint.

In the worst tears, surgical repair is the standard treatment.
