Dr. Abhinav Kesarkar | Orthopedic Surgeon In Nagpur
It is essential to recognise symptoms early to avoid worsening of the condition. The common symptoms include:
Persistent shoulder pain, especially at night
Weakness when lifting or rotating the arm
Cracking or popping sensations
Reduced range of motion
If you notice these symptoms, it is advisable to consult an orthopedic specialist immediately.
To begin with, not all rotator cuff tears require surgery. Depending on the severity, Dr. Kesarkar may suggest:
✅ Rest and Activity Modification – Avoiding activities that worsen pain
✅ Medications – Anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain and swelling
✅ Physiotherapy – Targeted exercises to strengthen shoulder muscles and restore motion
✅ Steroid Injections – To reduce severe inflammation and pain temporarily
These conservative treatments are often effective for partial tears or inflammation.
However, if non-surgical options do not provide relief, or if the tear is large and affects shoulder function, surgery might be recommended. Surgical options include:
Arthroscopic Repair
Minimally invasive procedure using a small camera and instruments
Repairs torn tendons with minimal tissue damage
Faster recovery and lesser pain
Open Repair or Tendon Transfer
For complex or massive tears
Reattaches tendon or transfers a nearby tendon to restore function
Reverse Shoulder Replacement
Used in severe cases with arthritis or massive tears
Reverses the ball-and-socket mechanics to restore movement
