What is rotator cuff repair?
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that hold your shoulder joint stable. You can tear it in a single injury, through repeated overhead activity, or through degenerative wear over time.
Arthroscopic repair reattaches your torn tendon to the bone using small anchors, through small incisions rather than an open approach.
Signs you may have torn your rotator cuff
- Your shoulder hurts, particularly at night
- It hurts to lie on that side
- Your arm feels weak when you lift it
- You cannot reach overhead as far as you used to
Recovery & rehabilitation
Repair is recommended if your tear is full or partial-thickness and is causing real pain and loss of function, particularly where conservative treatment has not helped you. Your rehabilitation is phased and supervised.
| Sling protection & passive motion | 0–6 weeks |
|---|---|
| Active motion | 6–12 weeks |
| Strengthening | 3–4 months |
| Full function | 4–6 months |
Full shoulder function: 4 to 6 months. Most people regain full function within this window after arthroscopic repair.
