Rotator cuff disease can be the result of a significant injury to the shoulder, or progressive degeneration or wear and tear of the tendon tissue.
Overhead lifting or lifting heavy objects for a long period of time can irritate or damage the tendon.
Rotator cuff problems could lead to permanent weakness or loss of movement ability and possible progressive degeneration of the shoulder joint.
With age, the risk of a rotator cuff injury increases. Rotator cuff tears are more common in people over the age of 60.
Some occupations, such as carpentry or house painting, require repetitive arm movements, often overhead, which can damage the rotator cuff over time.
There may be a genetic component to rotator cuff injuries, as it is more common for them to run in certain families.
Sometimes rotator cuff tears can occur as a result of a single injury. In such circumstances, a medical evaluation should be received as soon as possible to discuss the role of surgery.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique that allows diagnosing, accessing and treating a wide spectrum of injuries and diseases in the various structures that make up this complex joint, through small incisions in the skin, generally one centimeter each.
Currently, shoulder arthroscopy has managed to put open surgery in the background.
