Customized rotator cuff repair that helps you feel confident in your body again
Rotator cuff tears are an extremely limiting injury that can arise due to repeated motion or sudden injuries. Often times, rotator cuff tears are partial tears, where a part of your tendon(s) tears or detaches from the upper arm bone (humerus). Doing a job where you move your arm above your head repetitively is a common cause of this injury. Painters, carpenters, swimmers and baseball pitchers are all at risk for repetitive stress injuries. Falling or lifting something heavy can cause sudden rotator cuff tears. These injuries make it hard to do the daily activities you love and need to do. It may be impossible to work your job or even reach for groceries. We are committed to relieving you of this pain and getting you back to your full self.
What does a rotator cuff tear feel like? Pain is the most obvious symptom. Weakness, difficulty sleeping on the injured shoulder, a popping sensation during movement, or even being unable to fully move your arm are all other common symptoms you may experience. A medical history and physical exam can be used by your doctor to diagnose your rotator cuff injury. X-rays or an ultrasound may also be needed to decisively determine the scope of your injury. This information can then inform you on whether or not surgery is the best path forward.
What can be done about this painful and limiting injury? Rotator cuff repair is one of the most thorough methods of relieving you of your pain and symptoms. The pain you’ve come to expect doesn’t have to be the norm. You can feel the same strength and stability you had ten years ago. The most common type of rotator cuff repair is the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. This procedure involves the surgeon making small incisions on your shoulder, through which a long camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the shoulder joint to visualize any injury to the tendons. Through other small incisions, thin instruments are then inserted through to repair the torn tendon and reattach it to the humerus. For more severe rotator cuff tears, open surgery is often recommended. Open surgery involves a larger incision on the shoulder and even the deltoid muscle to repair the torn tendons. Lastly, your incisions would be closed with stitches or a soft bandage. This procedure is used when other shoulder injuries are also present and require more significant intervention. The open surgery method has a longer recovery time compared to the arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Both procedures are the first step to bringing you back to normal and using your shoulder and arm like you truly need. With our advanced technology, modern imaging techniques, and experienced surgeons, we are confident that we can bring you back to feeling mobile again. At Genesis, we are committed to helping you along the path to feeling strong and confident again in your shoulder.
Who is a good candidate for rotator cuff repair? According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 80 percent of patients may find success with nonsurgical treatment in resolving pain and lack of movement. However, the other 20 percent will require surgical intervention to fully relieve their symptoms. Indications that surgery is necessary is if the symptoms have lasted 6 to 12 months, you have loss of function in your shoulder, or there was a significant sudden injury recently.

Using our world-class medical technology and wealth of surgical experience, we promise that your procedure will both put you on the path to improving your condition, but also be ethically priced.

Here at Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, we are completely committed to your care and comfort. We shape our treatment plan to ensure we reduce complications and our patients are happy with their increased mobility. The two main complications of rotator cuff repairs are nerve damage on the deltoid and long-term shoulder stiffness. We work to prevent nerve damage by having experienced surgeons, who use extremely precise tools alongside arthroscopic images, to ensure that the tendon repair doesn’t impact the deltoid nerve. Then, by starting rehabilitation early, we will work with you to reduce any chance of stiffness. Altogether, our model of advanced, modern care, alongside proactive recovery allows us to reduce complications with surgery. During a quick 15 minute consultation with our medical staff, we can walk you through the entire procedure and help you feel as confident as we are in its success.
