Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery at Evolve Ortho Physio & Polyclinic Jaipur
What is a Rotator Cuff Tear?
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, providing stability and allowing a wide range of motion. A rotator cuff tear occurs when one or more of these tendons are damaged or torn due to injury, overuse, or age-related degeneration.
Rotator cuff repair surgery is performed to restore the normal function of the shoulder, relieve pain, and prevent further degeneration. At Evolve Ortho Physio & Polyclinic Jaipur, we use arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques for precise repair and faster recovery.
Signs You May Need Rotator Cuff Repair
You should consult our specialists if you experience:
- Persistent shoulder pain that worsens at night or during overhead activities.
- Weakness in the arm or difficulty lifting objects.
- Limited range of motion or stiffness in the shoulder.
- A feeling of shoulder instability or “catching.”
- Shoulder pain that does not improve with medications, injections, or physiotherapy.
Types of Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery
1. Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair
- What it is: A minimally invasive procedure using a small camera (arthroscope) to repair torn tendons.
- When it’s recommended: For most small to medium tears, enabling faster recovery and minimal scarring.
Open Rotator Cuff Repair
- What it is: Traditional surgery involving a small incision to access and repair larger or complex tears.
- When it’s recommended: For extensive tendon tears or associated shoulder injuries.
Mini-Open Rotator Cuff Repair
- What it is: Combines arthroscopic evaluation with a small incision to repair the tendon.
- When it’s recommended: For moderate tears requiring direct visualization of the tendon.
Benefits of Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery

- Improved Shoulder Strength: Restores the ability to lift, reach, and perform daily activities.
- Enhanced Mobility: Regains full or near-full range of motion in the shoulder.
- Prevention of Further Damage:Protects the shoulder from worsening degeneration or tendon rupture.

Recovery & Rehabilitation After Surgery
- Initial Phase:Shoulder immobilization with a sling to allow tendon healing.
- Physiotherapy: Gentle exercises to restore movement and strength begin within a few weeks.
- Progressive Recovery: Gradual increase in resistance exercises, functional training, and return to sports.
