Rotator Cuff Surgery (Rotator Cuff Syndrome)

Rotator cuff tears are commonly found in elderly individuals or those who repeatedly use their shoulders for extended periods, such as lifting heavy objects, playing sports, or doing certain types of household work. The tendons around the shoulder joint control movement and provide stability. When these tendons tear, deep pain in the shoulder is felt, especially when lifting the arm or reaching for something, affecting daily life.

Signs of a Rotator Cuff Tear

Chronic Shoulder Pain

Deep pain in the shoulder, especially at the front and side, which may radiate down the arm. This is often more painful when lying on the affected shoulder.

Difficulty Lifting the Arm

Especially when raising the arm above the head or reaching for something, assistance from the other hand is needed.

Shoulder Noises When Moving

The sensation of the shoulder joint “sticking” or hearing popping sounds when rotating the arm, lifting the arm, or moving the shoulder.

Weak Shoulder Muscles

In severe cases, muscle atrophy may occur, making it difficult to lift objects or keep the arm raised for prolonged periods.

Diagnosis of Rotator Cuff Tear

At S Spine & Joint Hospital, we focus on identifying the underlying cause before treatment. Our expert doctors will conduct a thorough evaluation. Every patient with symptoms indicative of musculoskeletal issues must undergo X-ray and MRI scans to assess pain and joint damage, allowing us to choose the most appropriate treatment path.

Treatment Technique

We stand out with our signature S-Quality treatment standard, which consists of three core components:

🎯 Trained under hospital-standard protocols to ensure precision and safety.

🎯 With deep knowledge of treatment protocols and strong coordination with physicians to shorten recovery times.

🎯 Designed specifically for spine and joint treatments, including world-class surgical tools. The absence of any one component may compromise treatment efficiency.

Treatment Steps

Specialized, cutting-edge technology is designed specifically for spinal and joint treatments, such as state-of-the-art surgical tools from around the world and an open MRI that can adjust angles from lying down to standing. This helps in precise diagnosis and rapid treatment. Missing any of these elements can impact the effectiveness of patient care.

1

Identifying the Cause

Diagnosis begins with posture-specific X-rays and upright MRI scans to evaluate abnormalities in cervical discs. Physicians combine both sets of images for a highly accurate assessment.

2

Preparation Before Treatment

Patients will receive pre-treatment instructions, such as fasting or informing the doctor of any existing conditions or allergies. A thorough physical examination will also be conducted.

3

Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery

Specialized tools for spine and joint treatments are used to repair the torn rotator cuff tendon. Using small instruments and medical-grade sutures, the tendon is securely reattached to its original position, helping reduce pain and restoring mobility.

4

Follow-Up and Recovery

After treatment, the doctor and a specialized support team will monitor the recovery progress and evaluate the patient's condition to ensure pain relief, no complications, and a full return to normal life.
