About Rotator Cuff Repair Shoulder

Rotator cuff repair is a surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to reattach torn tendons in the shoulder back to the upper arm bone (humerus). The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and enable arm rotation and lifting. This procedure is typically recommended when a significant tear causes persistent pain, weakness, and limited function that does not improve with conservative treatments like physical therapy, rest, or injections. The surgery can be performed arthroscopically using small incisions and a camera, or as an open procedure for more complex tears. The goal is to relieve pain, restore strength and range of motion, and allow patients to return to daily activities and sports. It is a common and highly effective orthopedic surgery for improving shoulder health and quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
