Rotator Cuff (shoulder) Injuries The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The arm bone (humerus) ends in a ball shaped surface (humeral head) that fits into a very shallow socket (glenoid). This socket is part of the wingbone (scapula). This shallow socket allows the shoulder joint tremendous range of motion. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles which rotate the humerus and hold the shoulder in place by keeping the humeral head in the proper position inside the glenoid socket. These muscles allow everyday repetitive motions like scratching behind your head or back, painting, waxing, using hand tools, reaching, and lifting overhead. They are used extensively in athletic activities like throwing a ball, serving a tennis ball and driving a golf ball. Thus, chronic wear and tear or a fall or collision can cause injury to the rotator cuff. It is not uncommon for a patient to have intermittent shoulder pain for several years which is not completely relieved by rest and anti-inflammatory medication.

News Tips Rotator cuff repair with smaller incisions and sturdier stitches Less invasive technique could speed healing By Jim Dryden Strong stitches attach the rotator cuff directly to the shoulder bone. Rotator cuff surgery used to mean a substantial incision, a long recovery and lots of pain, but that's changing as more surgeons begin using minimally invasive repair techniques. At Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, orthopaedic surgeon George Paletta, M.D., is one of a growing number of surgeons now using a system designed to limit post-surgical pain and promote faster healing. Paletta, on staff at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and chief of the Sports Medicine Service at Washington University, also serves as head team physician for the St. Louis Cardinals. In that position, he's dealt with lots of sore shoulders over the years. But he says the rotator cuff is involved with much more than throwing fastballs. "It's important in helping us raise the arm overhead and to generate any force or strength with rotational movements of the arm." Paletta says. "Rotator cuff problems clearly can affect a person's day-to-day life, even performing normal activities from sweeping the floor to putting away groceries."

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?

It is our shoulders that allow us to put our hands where they need to be for work, play, and all of our daily activities. To manage this, the shoulder has to have the right balance of strength, flexibility, and stability. Loss of this balance can lead to pain and injury. Maintaining this balance through exercises aimed at stretching and strengthening can help avoid shoulder problems. Rotator Cuff Injuries The shoulder joint is surrounded by four muscles and their tendons. These are collectively referred to as the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is surrounded by an empty sac, or bursa, which helps the tendons slide. The rotator cuff is susceptible to many problems which can cause weakness, tenderness and pain. These problems include overuse tendinitis, which can be caused by certain activities. Overhead sports such as throwing, swimming, or tennis, can lead to tendinitis. If the space between the rotator cuff and the bone above it is narrowed, the rotator cuff tendons and the overlying bursa can get squeezed. This will lead to bursitis and tendinitis. This is called

T The Rotator Cuff The Rotator Cuff 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.

Return Records Rotator Cuff Injuries Causes Symptoms Treatment What are Rotator Cuff injuries? The tendons of four muscles in the upper arm form the rotator cuff, blending together to help stabilize the shoulder.  Tendons attach muscles to bone and are the mechanisms that enable muscles to move bones.  It is because of the rotator cuff tendons, which connect the long bone of the arm (the humerus ) to the scapula (the shoulder blade) that we can raise and rotate our arms.  The rotator cuff also keeps the humerus tightly in the socket ( glenoid ) when the arm is raised.  The tough fibers of the rotator cuff bend as the shoulder changes position. For normal shoulder function, each muscle must be healthy, securely attached, coordinated, and conditioned.  When there are full or partial tears to the rotator cuff tendons, movement of the arm up or away from the body is impaired, making it difficult or impossible to rotate the arm in its ball-and-socket joint. Causes of Rotator Cuff Injuries?

91. ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES pitchers, swimmers, weight lifters and tennis players often suffer this injury.Chronic irritation can cause pain, swelling and tearing of the rotator cuff. http://www.drmirkin.com/fitness/F231.html

ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES Gabe Mirkin, M.D. The rotator cuff muscles hold the head of the long bone of your upper arm tightly in the socket of your shoulder. Sports that require moving the arm over the head repeatedly can cause tearing and swelling of the tendons of these muscles. Baseball pitchers, swimmers, weight lifters and tennis players often suffer this injury. Chronic irritation can cause pain, swelling and tearing of the rotator cuff. If you continue to exercise in spite of the pain, you will tear the tendons from their attachments. Initially, pain occurs only when you hold your arm over your head and bring it down or forward forcibly. Later, it will hurt when the arm is moved forward for any reason, such as to shake hands. Usually, it hurts when you push things away and does not hurt when you pull objects toward you. A torn rotator cuff will cause tenderness over the tendons, especially when the elbow is raised above the shoulder. It will hurt when you pull your arm across your chest, and you will have difficulty raising your elbow over your shoulder. An arthrogram is often not sensitive enough to diagnose a partial tear of the rotator cuff but can show a complete tear. The treatment is to avoid any motion that hurts and strengthen the uninjured shoulder muscles. Do weight-lifting exercises that bring the weights toward the body and do not hurt, such as upright rows and downward "lat pulls". You may need surgery if the rotator cuff tendons are torn completely, or if the tendons do not heal within one year.

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.

Your Health Plan Healing the Body in Motion Swinging Back to Health Dave Kline is back in the swing of things after receiving treatment for a rotator-cuff injury. A typical day for 75-year-old Dave Kline consists of a couple hours on the tennis court, followed by a few hours in the office and a leisurely swim or round of golf to end the day. Somewhat retired, Dave enjoys the active lifestyle he leads in Los Altos Hills and makes it a point to exercise daily. Last November, however, Dave experienced an unfortunate setback that made his workout routine come to a screeching halt. As Dave ran for the ball during a heated tennis match, he felt a sudden pain in his shoulder. "I went to toss the ball for a serve and I felt this intense pain—almost like I had ripped the tendon off of the bone. It was extremely painful," he said. That's when he met with Sutter-affiliated orthopedic surgeon Colin L. Eakin, M.D., of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. "Dave had been so active with his shoulder while playing tennis that he actually developed a complete tear in his rotator cuff," Dr. Eakin explained. "When that happens and a patient wants to remain active at that level, surgery is usually required."

Rotator Cuff Problems comments to Click on this key icon to return to the main index page. Please read by Jeffrey S. Malka, M.D., F.A.C.S., F.A.A.O.S. What is the rotator cuff? All muscles are made up of a fleshy muscle (meat) part and a non fleshy tendon part. It is the tendon part that connects the muscle to bone. There is a group of muscles in the shoulder that rotate (and lift) the arm at the shoulder. They are known as a group as the " shoulder rotators ". The tendons of the shoulder rotator muscles come together and combine to form a single common sheet of tendon through which they all attach together to bone. This common sheet of tendons is called the rotator cuff because it surrounds (cuffs) the top and back of the ball in the shoulder and serves the muscles that rotate the shoulder. Where is the rotator cuff? The rotator cuff develops problems precisely because of where it is located in the shoulder and how the shoulder is constructed. As you can see from the diagram of shoulder anatomy , the rotator cuff is between two bony surfaces . Above it is the bony "roof" of the shoulder made up of the acromium and clavicle. Below it is the round ball of the humerus (arm) bone. Throughout life, whenever a person lifts his/her arm to reach up for something, the rotator cuff is

shoulder pain injuries, rotator cuff muscles strengthening exercises, subscapularis, teres minor, infraspinatus and supraspinatus Shoulder pain injuries: rotator cuff muscles strengthening exercises compared? Chronic shoulder pain is a common consequence of repetitive overhead activity, such as serving and smashing in tennis, freestyle or butterfly swimming, javelin throwing, or bowling in cricket. Usually such pain is a result of damage to the rotator cuff muscles. The rotator cuff group consists of four muscles, subscapularis, teres minor, infraspinatus and supraspinatus, which are positioned around the shoulder joint. These muscles are small, but their function is very important. Specifically, they act to keep the shoulder joint stable during movements of the arm by, in layman's terms, keeping the 'ball' in the 'socket'. There are three classic exercises for strengthening the rotator cuff: these are the lateral raise with internal rotation, the internal rotation exercise and the external rotation exercise, which can all be performed using a resistance band or dumbbells. The lateral raise with internal rotation (LRIR) involves standing on the band with hands by your sides holding the end of the band in each hand, or standing holding dumbbells in each hand. The movement involves internally rotating your arms so that your thumbs point downwards, and then raising your arms out to the side until your elbows are just below the shoulder, keeping your thumbs pointing down as you raise. It is as if you are emptying a can of drink on the floor. This exercise is very popular, and is commonly recommended as part of a shoulder-injury rehabilitation programme. The LRIR is specifically thought to train the supraspinatus, as this muscle is positioned above the shoulder joint and should be involved during arm abduction movements (lifting the arm out to the side). In fact, researchers Jobe and Moynes in 1982 claimed it was the most effective exercise for the supraspinatus.

Home Shoulder Elbow Knee ... Instability 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).
