ROTATOR CUFF INJURY Rotator cuff injury is the most common cause of shoulder pain in adolescents and adults. The rotator cuff is made up of 4 tendons that come together to form a sheet of tissue that covers the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff (and not cup) powers and stabilizes the shoulder. The rotator cuff can be injured from repetitive stress or a single major traumatic event. Repetitive abnormal stress can slowly lead to weakening of the rotator cuff tendons. The weakening of these tendons then can lead to a muscle imbalance between the weak rotator cuff muscles and the strong deltoid muscle. It is this imbalance that leads to bursitis and tendonitis (inflammation of the bursa and rotator cuff). This type of repetitive injury usually does not lead to a full thickness rotator cuff tear. We usually see this type of rotator cuff problem in the youger adult overhead athlete such as baseball pitchers, tennis and volleyball players. Injury to the cuff can also occur with a single time major injury; such as a direct fall onto the shoulder, which leads to a partial or full thickness tear. Evaluation of the injured athlete is aimed at checking range of motion, strength and ruling out fractures and dislocations. X-rays are an integral part of the initial evaluation of the injured shoulder. The x-rays will help rule out fractures, dislocations, AC separations, AC arthritis, and calcific tendonitis. The x-ray will also better define the presence of "bone spurs" at the end of the acromion which can cause impingement of the rotator cuff onto the acromion. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a special radiographic tool used to better evaluate the soft tissues around the shoulder such as the rotator cuff and the joint capsule. MRI is very accurate in diagnosing full thickness rotator cuff tears.

How Are Rotator Cuff Problems Treated? ... Additional Sources Of Information Other helpful websites: Yahoo! Health WebMD NIH How Are Rotator Cuff Problems Treated? The body needs blood to heal itself, but there are few blood vessels to supply the rotator cuff with blood. Because of this, most rotator cuff injuries heal slowly. The most serious type of rotator cuff injury, a completely torn tendon , usually requires surgery in order to heal completely. Treatment of rotator cuff problems depends on the nature and extent of the injury. Most people, including those who have a partially torn tendon, can be treated without surgery. Even those who have a completely torn rotator cuff can sometimes regain enough strength and flexibility to function without surgery. Rotator cuff problems can be treated with: Nonsurgical treatments Surgery Nonsurgical Treatments Nonsurgical treatments of rotator cuff injuries include: Rest . The first step in treating any rotator cuff problem is to rest the injured joint until the pain and swelling subside. Ice . In the first 24 hours after an injury, ice can help reduce pain and swelling.

medical content Topics New Medicine Women's Health Pediatrics Geriatrics ... Sports Medicine Rotator Cuff Injuries Background The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body and therefore is prone to injuries, including injuries to the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles that plays a major role in stabilization and movement of the shoulder. To optimize long-term function, appropriate diagnosis and treatment of rotator cuff injuries is important. Anatomy and Function The rotator cuff is composed of four muscles: the subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor. All originate on the scapula (shoulder blade) and insert on various areas of the humerus (upper arm bone). Their major function is to hold the head of the arm bone in the glenoid (shallow cup-shaped end of the shoulder blade), forming the shoulder joint (glenohumeral joint). Because the glenoid is so shallow, it allows the great range of motion of the shoulder, but without the rotator cuff to stabilize the shoulder, most movements would cause dislocation of the joint. The muscles also play a role in initiating movement of the arm in various directions. Rotator cuff tendonitis Symptoms of rotator cuff injuries include pain, weakness, and loss of motion in the shoulder. The worse pain is often with motions that are similar to what caused the injury. Pain at night, especially when lying on the affected shoulder, is often reported. Patients describe a generalized ache rather than a specific point of pain in the joint. Examination reveals pain and weakness as the person initiates movement of the arm, especially if the examiner applies mild resistance. Depending on which of the four muscles is affected, the pain can be with moving the arm forward (flexion), moving the arm straight out from the side (abduction), or rotating the arm in and out at the shoulder with the arm held in various positions (internal and external rotation).

T HE S TONE C LINIC ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY, SPORTS MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION THE SHOULDER JOINT Injuries to the Rotator cuff Kevin R. Stone, M.D. November 7, 1996 "Doc, I was skiing a few months ago and fell onto my shoulder. Since then, it aches when I lift my arms over head, sometimes awakens me from sleep, and just doesn't feel as strong as it used to." The symptoms described, especially in the 40 to 80 year old skier, are those of a rotator cuff injury. What the athlete needs to know is, is the tendinous rotator cuff torn or just inflamed? The rotator cuff is a confluence of tendons that insert on the superior lateral aspect of the upper arm. The tendons are what permit the shoulder muscles (subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor) to attach to bone, and therefore raise and lower the arm, and rotate it in and out. The tendons are broad, measuring approximately 5 centimeters in width, and form a cuff encapsulating the articular surface of the top of the humerus. (see diagram) The rotator cuff runs under a bony and ligamentous arch formed by the acromion,(the bone felt when you put your left hand on top of your right shoulder) and is bordered by the acromioclavicular ligament, the coracoid (the bone in front of the shoulder), the acromioclavicular joint (where the clavicle joins the acromion. The rotator cuff muscles are the subscapularis anteriorly, the supraspinatus superiorly, and the infraspinatus and teres minor posteriorly.

Remember to: * stay in shape, * know your limits, * use good posture for lifting, and * drink plenty of fluids. Sometimes a rotator cuff will tear. This is a more serious injury. An injury such as a fall on the shoulder may tear the rotator cuff. Surgery is often required to repair a tear. Mild injuries can be treated with a combination of rest and gentle exercise.

FAQ - Rotator Cuff Disease / Impingement Q: Will I need to wear a sling for any extended period of time? A: You will go home after the surgery wearing a sling and may need to wear it temporarily for comfort. However, generally you are encouraged to wean out the use of the sling as tolerated over the first (2) weeks, with the exception of occasions when out among the public, and then only as a warning to others to avoid contact with the shoulder. Q: Can I begin to raise/lift the arm on my own, and if not, when? A: During the first 4-6 weeks, you are not allowed to actively move you shoulder; your physical therapist will instruct you in a series of exercises that will not involve using the muscles that were repaired the day of the surgery. Your formal physical therapy session will begin 1-2 days after the surgery. In addition to specific exercises, other treatments will be performed to help reduce pain, swelling, and stiffening of the shoulder. Q: How often will I be attending physical therapy? For how long? A: Three times per week is advocated by your physician due to research which demonstrates the best overall outcome are achieved with this frequency of treatment per week. The length of time in formal therapy is generally for 8-12 weeks from the time of surgery due to the healing time necessary before beginning strengthening/resistive exercises, allowing for progression to a totally independent program once the following criteria is met:
