Pain in the shoulder or upper arm is the most common symptom of a rotator cuff injury. The pain may be vague and may result in a catching sensation when moving the arm. The pain usually worsens when moving or lifting the arm. The pain can also make sleeping difficult. This can be accompanied by weakness and limited range of motion in the arm. In the case of a partial tear, pain is the primary complaint. If there is a complete tear of the rotator cuff, the shoulder will most likely be unable to move through the normal range of motions. Anti-inflammatory medications can be used to decrease inflammation and provide pain relief. Cortisone injections may help relieve pain and strengthen the muscles around the joint. A physical therapy program can help stretch and strengthen the shoulder. Rotator cuff injuries such as bursitis or tendonitis usually respond well to conservative treatment. The surgical options to repair the rotator cuff depend on the severity of the injury. The goal of surgery is to repair and reattach the torn tendon and also clean out any damaged tissue or bone spurs. Arthroscopic surgery can be performed. This method involves inserting miniature instruments into small incisions to repair the damage. Open surgery may be required to repair a tendon that is severy injured. Sometimes a combination mini-open technique is used.

Understanding Rotator Cuff Injuries
Understanding Rotator Cuff Injuries We depend on our shoulders to help us perform many of our daily activities. Unfortunately, they are also susceptible to injury. Find out about common rotator cuff injuries and how you can treat them.
The shoulder is a unique joint. Its complex design gives the shoulder a wider range of motions than any other joint in the body. The rotator cuff is an important component of the shoulder. It is comprised of four muscles that attach to the shoulder blade called the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis. These muscles surround the top of the upper arm bone and give stability to the shoulder joint. Tendons attach the muscles to the arm bone. The rotator cuff allows the arm to rotate, or move up, down, in and out. Common injuries include partial or complete tears of the tendon, tendonitis, calcium deposits in a tendon, and strains. These injuries can result in pain and weakness in the shoulder, limiting the range of motion of the arm and making routine activities difficult to carry out. Rotator cuff injuries can be caused by trauma or repetitive use. Trauma includes falling on a shoulder or arm, or lifting a heavy object. Dislocated or broken shoulder bones can also injure the rotator cuff. Repetitive injury is the result of everyday wear and tear, overuse or aging. Rotator cuff injuries are seen in both the young and old.

No other joint is as flexible, and unstable as the shoulder. The shoulder (glenohumeral [GH]) joint is a shallow ball and socket variety that allows your arm to move freely in all directions. Your shoulder, therefore, depends heavily on the surrounding muscles to provide necessary stability.
The shoulder joint consists of the ball of the humerus (upper arm) and the socket (glenoid) of the scapula (shoulder blade). The surrounding capsule allows a wide range of movement. The place where the humerus articulates with the glenoid is reinforced by a fibrocartilage collar, which increases the stability of the shoulder.
Four short rotator cuff muscles and their tendons surround the joint and contribute towards its stability. The rotator cuff muscles are small, but play an important role in shoulder stabilization. These four rotator cuff muscles include your supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis. Together they have an essential steadying effect on the

The most common cause of chronic shoulder pain is not shoulder instability but supraspinatus tendon weakness, also known as rotator cuff tendonitis. If full range of movement in the shoulder is compromised, the supraspinatus tendon works harder to provide the motion support needed. This tendon eventually weakens and laxity develops. A supraspinatus tendon problem is manifested by pain with abduction and external rotation of the shoulder, especially when reaching for things above shoulder level, or pain in the shoulder after sleeping due to compression of the supraspinatus tendon. The supraspinatus tendon often refers pain to the back of the shoulder. Sleeping on the shoulder causes a pinching of the rotator cuff muscles and can lead to rotator cuff weakness. There are cases where the cause of the rotator cuff tendon laxity was due to years of sleeping on the shoulder. In most cases, traditional therapies such as exercise and physical therapy will resolve rotator cuff tendonitis. It is not uncommon, however, for rotator cuff injuries to linger because blood supply to the rotator cuff tendons is poor. Poor blood supply is a reason the rotator cuff is so commonly injured. In chronic cases of shoulder pain due to rotator cuff weakness, Prolotherapy is the treatment of choice. Prolotherapy will cause the rotator cuff to strengthen and eliminate shoulder pain. If rotator cuff weakness is not corrected, the shoulder's range of motion will deteriorate. Rapid deterioration can occur, especially in people over 60 years of age.

From Other Guides Physical Therapy Save Your Shoulder Elsewhere on the Web Shoulder Anatomy The Rotator Cuff By: Jonathan Cluett, M.D. What is the rotator cuff? The rotator cuff is an important part of the shoulder joint that aids in allowing the shoulder to function as the most unique joint in the body. Because of this mechanism, the shoulder joint can move and turn through a wider range than any other joint in the body; this allow us to perform an amazing variety of tasks with our arms. Unfortunately, the shoulder can be relatively easily injured, making many routine activities difficult and painful. The rotator cuff is part of this mechanism that, when healthy functions very well, but when injured can be a difficult and frustrating problem. The rotator cuff is actually made of four muscles that attach to the shoulder blade (scapula), and wrap around the front, back, and top of the shoulder. Together these muscles help guide the shoulder through many motions, and also lend stability to the joint. The ends of the rotator cuff muscles form tendons that attach to the arm bone (humerus).

Why does a torn rotator cuff happen, and how are they treated? The movement of the arm and the shoulder is controlled by a group of four muscles called the rotator cuff. This group of muscles is attached to the shoulder blade and then inserted to the upper part of the humerus. They control the way in which the arm is internally and externally rotated and how it is lifted up and down. At the end of each muscle is a tendon that attaches to the bone. Tears in these tendons are called rotator cuff tears, and they are a common cause of shoulder pain and weakness. Bone Spurs that rub on the tendons of the rotator cuff can weaken the tendons.

Click to Enlarge! T he rotator cuff (or Infraspinatus), is basicaly involved in a major way when it comes to benching. Have you ever noticed your shoulder area seems to hurt at times before you come to failure? Most of the time this is due to a weak rotator. This could also be said for a lot of other exercises too. This is due to the fact that the rotator really works hard during a lot of different movements you make. Now the rotator cuff is a part of the shoulder. It is a group of tendons that attach together and surround the top, the rear and the front of the shoulder. It actually surrounds it like a cuff on a shirt sleeve will surround your wrist. These tendons are individually connected to short muscles that originate from the scapula (shoulder blades). When these muscles contract they pull on the rotator cuff tendon, causing the shoulder to rotate. This pull causes the shoulder to rotate upward, inward or downward, this is why it's called the rotator cuff.

Rotator Cuff Disease and Injury Background The shoulder is perhaps the most complicated joint in the body. It is really a set of four joints, including the articulation of the collar bone with the breast bone (sternoclavicular joints), ACJ, GHJ, and scapulothoracic joint, where the shoulder blade glides on the chest wall. The purpose of the shoulder is to allow a great deal of range of motion to facilitate positioning of the arm and hand. Stability is a subservient concern, hence, the predilection of instability problems in the shoulder joint complex. This is especially evident in the GHJ. The GHJ is a "ball and socket" type joint, very much like a golf ball on a tee. The socket is very shallow deepened slightly by the addition of a thin rubbery lining called the labrum. There are some thickenings in the lining of the shoulder joint that resemble ligaments, but these are not always robust. The critical factor for stability is the rotator cuff, a set of four muscles and tendons attached to the margin of the humeral head.

Rotator Cuff Tear Web Resources Available
Introduction
The shoulder is an elegant and complex piece of machinery. Its design allows us to reach and use our hands in many different positions. However, while the shoulder joint has great range of motion, it is not very stable. This makes the shoulder vulnerable to problems if any of its parts aren't in good working order. The rotator cuff tendons are key to the healthy functioning of the shoulder. They are subject to a lot of wear and tear, or degeneration, as we use our arms. Tearing of the rotator cuff tendons is an especially painful injury. A torn rotator cuff creates a very weak shoulder. Most of the time patients with torn rotator cuffs are in late middle age. But rotator cuffs tears can happen at any age. This document will help you understand:

Patient Notes
Rotator cuff injuries
VOL 104 / NO 7 / JULY 1998 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE When it comes to joint flexibility, the shoulders win hands downand hands up, hands behind your back, wherever you choose to reach. But the shoulder's outstanding range of motion also sets it up for wear, tear, and injury. If you have had a sore shoulder, you know how painful it can be to do something as simple as putting on your coat. How does this joint work, anyway?
The shoulder is held together by four muscles and their attached tendons, which form a structure called the rotator cuff. The muscles connect the upper arm bone (humerus) to the shoulder blade and hold the ball of the humerus firmly in the shoulder socket. We hear a lot about rotator cuff injuries in athletes, especially baseball pitchers, tennis players, and swimmers, but actually everyone is at risk. Rotator cuff injuries are common in older adults and people whose jobs or hobbies involve overhead lifting or reaching, such as carpenters and painters. Fortunately, most rotator cuff injuries can be treated with exercise and simple pain-relief measures. Very few injuries require surgery. What are the most common types of injury?

Rotator Cuff
The Injury:
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendon attachments that surround the shoulder joint. These tendons attach to the ball of the shoulder (humeral head) and act as the inner "ball bearing" stabilizers of the joint. The rotator cuff needs to be functioning properly for the outer layer of large muscles to do their job. The muscles that comprise the rotator cuff are the supraspinatous, which elevates the shoulder, the subscapularis which internally rotates the shoulder, and the infraspinatous and teres minor which are the external rotators. The supraspinatous is the one most commonly involved in injury. Rotator Cuff Injuries: Pinching, or impingement of the rotator cuff can occur against the overlying bone called the acromion. This can occur due to a spur on the acromion, or a thickening or curvature of this bone which rubs against the tendon. This results in inflammation of the tendon (rotator cuff tendinitis) and its adjacent lubricating sac, the bursa (bursitis). If the impingement persists for extended periods, actual tearing of the rotator cuff tendons may occur. X-rays are usually necessary to confirm the presence of a special spur. Tearing of the tendon can best be detected with a special type of x-ray called an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

Putting on a bra, shirt or coat may be painful. To properly diagnosis a rotatorcuff injury a complete examination of the shoulder and neck must be done.
