  • Can a rotator cuff that's torn 80% be repaired?

    The answer to the question is age dependent and symptom level. Generally, anything not symptomatic is generally not indicated for surgery. The orthopedic literature shows little difference between long term surgical outcomes and outcomes from physical therapy if you are older than 65. In symptomatic younger patients and patients who are physiologically younger than their age, I generally recommend surgical repair for a rotator cuff tear that is greater than 50% torn and continues to be symptomatic after reasonable conservative treatment has failed. Tears greater than 50% are equivalent to full tears on a bio mechanical level and are generally taken down and repaired with fill thickness tissue. Be mindful it requires full time immobilization for 6 weeks and an average of 6 months for recuperation. READ MORE
