Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator Cuff Repair in Bengaluru at VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic
At VijaySheela Sports-Orthopedics Clinic, Bengaluru, Dr. Vijay Girish performs advanced rotator cuff repair to treat tears in the shoulder’s rotator cuff tendons. These tears can result from injury, overuse, or degenerative changes, causing pain, weakness, and limited shoulder movement. Surgical repair restores tendon integrity, improves shoulder strength, and allows safe return to daily and athletic activities.
What is Rotator Cuff Repair?
Rotator cuff repair is a surgical procedure to reattach torn shoulder tendons to the humerus bone. Using arthroscopic or open techniques, the surgeon restores the tendon’s attachment, relieving pain, improving mobility, and preventing further degeneration. This procedure enables patients to regain full shoulder function and strength over time.
Benefits of Rotator Cuff Repair
Rotator cuff repair provides several benefits, including:
- Reduces shoulder pain and discomfort, improving daily activity and sleep quality.
- Restores shoulder strength and range of motion for work, sports, and recreational activities.
- Prevents further tendon degeneration and reduces the risk of future shoulder problems.
- Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques result in smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.
- Improves long-term shoulder function, strength, and joint health.
Recovery and Outcomes
- Early recovery focuses on gentle shoulder movements and pain management.
- Physiotherapy and strengthening exercises help restore full shoulder function and flexibility.
- Most patients regain basic shoulder function within 4–6 weeks, depending on tear severity.
- Return to sports or heavy activities is generally possible within 3–6 months following structured rehabilitation.
