What is Rotator Cuff Repair?

Rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery performed to repair torn tendons of the rotator cuff in the shoulder. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow smooth movement of the arm.

Rotator cuff tears can occur due to injury, repetitive overhead activities, or age-related degeneration. These tears can lead to shoulder pain, weakness, limited range of motion, and difficulty performing daily tasks like lifting or reaching overhead.

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using high-definition cameras and specialized instruments. The torn tendon is reattached to the bone using anchors and sutures, restoring shoulder function and stability.

This minimally invasive approach results in smaller incisions, less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
