Rotator Cuff Repair in Dubai

A rotator cuff tear is a common injury that can be caused by trauma or degeneration of the tendons and muscles that surround the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that attach the upper arm bone to the shoulder blade. A tear in the rotator cuff can cause severe pain and limit your ability to move your arm.

If you have a rotator cuff tear, your doctor may recommend non-surgical treatment options such as rest, ice, physical therapy, and the use of a shoulder sling to immobilize the shoulder and allow it to heal. However, if the tear is severe or fails to respond to non-surgical treatments, surgery may be necessary.

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that surround the shoulder joint. These muscles and tendons work together to keep the shoulder joint stable and to allow the arm to move in various directions. The four muscles that make up the rotator cuff are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. The tendons of these muscles attach to the upper arm bone (humerus) and wrap around the shoulder joint, forming a "cuff". The rotator cuff plays a critical role in shoulder function and is involved in almost all arm movements, from reaching overhead to throwing a ball.
The symptoms of a rotator cuff injury can vary depending on the severity of the injury, but common symptoms may include:  
  1. Pain in the shoulder, which may be felt as a dull ache or a sharp pain
  2. Weakness in the shoulder, which may make it difficult to lift or rotate the arm
  3. Limited range of motion in the shoulder
  4. Difficulty sleeping on the affected side
  5. Clicking or popping sounds when moving the shoulder
  6. Muscle atrophy or a noticeable decrease in muscle mass in the affected arm
  7. In some cases, swelling or bruising around the shoulder joint
  If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. A doctor can perform a physical exam, imaging tests such as an X-ray or MRI, and review your medical history to determine the best course of action.
The treatment options for a rotator cuff injury depend on the severity of the injury, as well as other factors such as age, activity level, and overall health. In general, treatment options can be divided into non-surgical and surgical options.   Non-surgical treatment options may include:  
  1. Rest and modification of activities: avoiding activities that aggravate the injury and taking a break from activities that involve repetitive overhead motion.
  2. Physical therapy: a physical therapist can develop a rehabilitation program that focuses on strengthening the rotator cuff muscles and improving shoulder function.
  3. Medications: anti-inflammatory medications or pain relievers may be prescribed to manage pain and reduce inflammation.
  4. Injection: corticosteroid injections can be given directly into the shoulder joint to reduce pain and inflammation.
  5. Shoulder sling rotator cuff : immobilization of the shoulder joint using a sling or brace can help reduce pain and inflammation and allow the injury to heal.
  Rotator cuff tear repair surgery options may include:  
  1. Arthroscopic surgery for torn rotator cuff: a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses small incisions and specialized instruments to repair the damaged tendon.
  2. Open rotator cuff repair: a traditional surgical approach that involves a larger incision to repair the damaged tendon.
  3. Double row rotator cuff repair: a surgical technique that involves securing the repaired tendon to the bone with two rows of sutures, which can provide a more secure and stable repair and improve overall shoulder function.
  The choice of treatment will depend on several factors, including the severity and location of the injury, the patient's age and overall health, and their goals for recovery. Your doctor will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that best meets your needs.
