The rotator cuff tendons can tear suddenly due to trauma or, more commonly, slowly due to tendon deterioration sometimes exacerbated by subacromial impingement. In some cases, the rotator cuff can be repaired to relieve the pain, recover range of motion, and restore shoulder muscle strength. This operation is performed arthroscopically and the arm must be immobilised for 6 weeks after the operation before active rehabilitation begins. Total recovery takes 6 to 12 months.
