### **Types of Rotator Cuff Injuries** Rotator cuff injuries can range from mild inflammation to complete tendon tears: * **Tendinitis**: Inflammation of the tendons, often due to overuse. * **Bursitis**: Inflammation of the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) near the cuff. * **Partial Tear**: The tendon is damaged but not completely severed. * **Complete Tear**: The tendon is completely torn and may pull away from the bone. --- ### **Causes and Risk Factors** * **Repetitive Overhead Movements**: Common in sports (e.g., baseball, tennis) or jobs (e.g., painting, carpentry). * **Trauma**: Falls or lifting heavy objects suddenly. * **Age-Related Degeneration**: Wear and tear over time, especially after age 40. * **Poor Posture**: Can contribute to shoulder strain. --- ### **Symptoms** * Pain when lifting or rotating the arm * Weakness in the shoulder * Difficulty sleeping on the affected side * Cracking or popping sensations * Limited range of motion --- ### **Diagnosis** Doctors typically use: * **Physical examination** (checking range of motion and strength) * **Imaging tests** like **X-rays**, **MRI**, or **ultrasound** to assess tendon damage. --- ### **Treatment Options** Treatment depends on severity: #### *Non-Surgical*: * **Rest and Ice** * **Physical Therapy** * **Anti-inflammatory Medications** * **Corticosteroid Injections** #### *Surgical* (if conservative measures fail or in severe tears): * **Arthroscopic Tendon Repair** * **Open Surgery** * **Tendon Transfer or Shoulder Replacement** (in chronic or massive tears) --- ### **Rehabilitation and Recovery** Recovery time varies: * Minor injuries: several weeks * Surgery: 4–6 months or longer with physical therapy Strengthening the shoulder, avoiding re-injury, and maintaining proper mechanics are essential parts of rehabilitation.
