A rotator cuff tear is damage to one or more of the four tendons that form the sleeve holding the shoulder joint together, allowing the arm to lift and rotate. It is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain in adults over 40, arising either from a sudden injury or from gradual wear over time. Treatment options range from structured physiotherapy and corticosteroid injections through to keyhole or open surgical repair, depending on the size and type of tear, the patient's age and activity level, and how much the shoulder is limiting daily life. Many partial and small degenerative tears respond well to non-surgical care, while larger tears or those that persist despite rehabilitation are typically addressed with arthroscopic or open surgical repair.
