Rotator Cuff The rotator cuff injury is one of the most common injuries in athletes. Injuries to the shoulders of football quarterbacks, baseball pitchers, swimmers, tennis players, skiers and weightlifters are good examples. It may end a career, or just be a temporary disabling injury. An overhead type of activity that is done too much or too hard usually causes these injuries. It may involve an everyday activity such as painting, rearranging shelves, or sports like tennis or swimming. The symptoms vary, but generally involve shoulder or upper arm pain. This may be constant with only certain movements, like reaching back or overhead. If the pain is limited to just specific parts of overhead movements, it is usually a rotator cuff injury. The pain may wake you up at night when you roll a certain way. You may or may not have a restricted motion. You may have weakness in the arm, especially when trying to lift. Unfortunately, the rotator cuff muscles are small and do not have great endurance. If you do an overhead activity like swimming or pitching over and over, the muscles get tired. The more fatigued they get, the more trouble they have holding the bones apart. Then you fall into the trap. Since the rotator cuff tendons are between two bones, they begin to rub. As they rub, they get irritated. As they get irritated, the muscles lose strength. Since their job is to prevent the bones from rubbing together, you can see the problem. You are injuries the muscle that need to act as a safety device.

Primer on Aging Choose Font Size Normal Large Extra Large Rotator Cuff Injury Rotator Cuff Injury October 23, 2001 Question A recent MRI showed that I have "infraspinatus tendonopathy". My internist says that I need surgery. I am unclear about what this means. Can you please clarify? Answer Based on your MRI, you seem to have a case of shoulder tendonitis. Tendonitis (or tendonopathy) is inflammation (redness, soreness, and swelling) of a tendon. In tendonitis of the shoulder, the rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon become inflamed, usually as a result of being pinched by surrounding structures. The injury may vary from mild inflammation to involvement of most of the rotator cuff. When the rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and thickened, it may get trapped under the acromion (the top of your shoulder). Squeezing the rotator cuff is called the impingement syndrome. Repeated motions involving the arms, or the aging process involving shoulder motion over many years, may also irritate and wear down the tendons, muscles, and surrounding structures. Your first step when an injury occurs is to see your doctor. I would expect that your own doctor would direct you to see a specialist, an orthopedic surgeon. This type of doctor can determine what treatments are required to help you. In general, there are a number of treatment options for patients with tendonitis. These range from the use of anti-inflammatory medicines to surgery. Other potential treatments can include physical therapy, ice packs, and even injection of corticosteroids into the space under the acromion. You should know that while steroid injections are a common treatment, they must be used with caution because they may lead to tendon rupture. Please see an orthopedic surgeon regarding your problem.

Rotator Cuff Injury Whether you swing a racquet, a bat, or a golf club, if you do it long and hard enough, chances are you'll develop a rotator cuff problem. The cuff is made up of four muscles that cause the shoulder to rotate in and out. All of those muscles are prone to become irritated or injured from over-use or trauma. Bone spurs, tears, and ruptures pose an additional risk. Conservative treatment is recommended. This may include rest, ice, and anti- inflammatory drugs. If surgery is necessary, the prognosis is good! 92-percent of patients report positive results up to five-years after the surgery.

How Are Rotator Cuff Problems Treated? ... Additional Sources Of Information Other helpful websites: Yahoo! Health WebMD NIH What Is The Rotator Cuff? The term " rotator cuff " refers to a group of four tendons that attach four shoulder muscles to the upper arm. Tendons are stringy tissues that attach muscle to bone. A healthy shoulder is the most versatile joint in the human body. It has a wider " range of motion ," which means it can move more freely, and in more directions, than any other joint. The shoulder's versatility enables us to retrieve soup cans from the cupboard, to hammer nails, swing golf clubs, roll bowling balls, and perform thousands of other activities. The shoulder's flexibility is due to its unique structure. Like the hip, the shoulder is a "ball-and-socket" joint - a "ball" at the top of the upper arm bone (the humerus) fits neatly into a "socket" formed by the shoulder blade (scapula). But unlike hip joints, where the ball sits in a deep, well-protected socket, the shoulder socket is very shallow. As a result, the shoulder is the most frequently dislocated major joint in the body. It's also prone to a variety of other injuries and chronic problems that can be painful and hinder a person's ability to perform ordinary tasks.

Pharmacies Rotator Cuff Injury Advertising WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that hold the top of the arm in its socket in the shoulder. Either the entire rotator cuff or a small portion can be torn. Healing time depends on the severity of the tear or injury. Most torn rotator cuffs occur in the arm used the most frequently, and most victims are men over the age of 40. Causes In many cases, the rotator cuff is torn during an attempt to break a fall with an outstretched hand. Other common causes include throwing, heavy lifting, or falling on your arm. Rotator cuff injuries happen frequently to skiers, and baseball, tennis, and football players. Signs/Symptoms Symptoms typically include pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling in the shoulder, and weakness in the arm. You will also have difficulty moving your arm, especially out from your body. Care Your doctor will probably order an x-ray of your shoulder. You will probably need to wear a sling or immobilizer so the shoulder can heal. A severe injury may require surgery to repair the tear.

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Rotator cuff injury Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition A rotator cuff injury is a tear or inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. Description Rotator cuff injury is known by several names, including pitcher's shoulder, swimmer's shoulder, and tennis shoulder. As these names imply, the injury occurs most frequently in athletes practicing sports that require the arm to be moved over the head repeatedly, such as pitching, swimming, tennis, and weight lifting. Rotator cuff tendonitis is an inflammation of the shoulder tendons while a rotator cuff tear is a ripping of one or more of the tendons. The tendons of four muscles make up the rotator cuff. The muscles are the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. The tendons attach the muscles to four shoulder bones: the shoulder blade (scapula), the upper arm bone (humerus), and the collarbone (clavicle.) The rotator cuff tendons can also degenerate due to age, usually starting around age 40. Rotator cuff injury may also be caused by falling on the outstretched arm or joint of the elbow. Either of these may produce enough force to drive the humerus into the shoulder socket. Causes and symptoms Some areas of the rotator cuff tendons have poor blood supply. Thus, the tissue is very slow to heal and maintain itself during normal use. Tearing and inflammation in athletes is usually due to hard and repetitive use, especially in baseball pitchers. In non-athletes over age 40, the injuries usually occur as a result of lifting heavy objects. The two primary symptoms are

Rotator Cuff Injury and Repair by Kim A. Foreman, M.D. What is the rotator cuff? The rotator cuff is a set of 4 muscles that serve the shoulder joint. These muscles originate from the shoulder blade and turn into fibrous tendons as they approach the outer edge of the shoulder. These 4 tendons surround the front, top, and back of the shoulder joint. A lubricating tissue (or bursa) lies on the surface of the rotator cuff tendons. The tendons and bursa normally glide smoothly between the bone at the tip of the shoulder (called the acromion) and the top of the upper arm bone (the humerus.) When the rotator cuff muscles contract, they pull on the rotator cuff tendons, allowing the shoulder to move through the wide range of motion that includes our daily and recreational activities. How is the rotator cuff injured? The rotator cuff may be injured by one dramatic trauma, such as falling on an outstretched arm, or it may be injured by repetitive overhand activity. Either form of injury can lead to swelling of the rotator cuff tendon and its bursa endriitis and/or bursitis. Either injury may also result in a complete tearing of the rotator cuff tendon from the humerus bone, known as a rotator cuff tear.
