When Rotator Cuff Repair Is Needed

Rotator cuff repair may be recommended when a tear causes ongoing pain, weakness, or loss of function despite non-surgical care.

Common reasons

  • Persistent shoulder pain
  • Weakness with lifting
  • Full-thickness rotator cuff tear
  • Traumatic shoulder injury
  • Night pain
  • Loss of shoulder function
  • Symptoms affecting work, sports, or daily life


Patients with a symptomatic rotator cuff tear may consider repair when conservative treatment is no longer enough.

Procedure and Repair Options

Rotator cuff repair focuses on reattaching the torn tendon to the bone and treating related shoulder problems when needed.

How the procedure works:

  • The shoulder is evaluated arthroscopically when appropriate
  • The torn tendon is prepared
  • The tendon is repaired back to the bone
  • Related shoulder problems may be treated during the same procedure

Repair options:

  • Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair when appropriate
  • Treatment of bone spurs when needed
  • Biceps tendon treatment when needed
  • Repair approach based on tear size and tendon quality

How surgical planning is decided:

  • Tear size
  • Tear location
  • Tendon quality
  • Muscle condition
  • Activity level and recovery goals
