Extractions: 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 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.

Extractions: Resources A rotator cuff injury is a tear or inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. 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. 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

Medical Services Rotator Cuff Injury Rotator Cuff Injury Treatment Appointments Clinical Trials Department of Orthopedic Surgery ... Medical Services A rotator cuff injury is a painful strain or tear in the tendons and muscles surrounding the shoulder joint. Rotator cuff problems are common among people whose jobs or hobbies include heavy demands on their shoulders, such as athletes and people in construction trades. As people get older, the risk of a rotator cuff injury also increases. Injuries to the rotator cuff can include tendonitis, partial or full tears in the muscle or tendon. The most common symptom of a rotator cuff injury is pain. Simple things like reaching up to comb your hair or bending your arm back to put on a jacket can be uncomfortable and hard to do. Lying or sleeping on the affected shoulder can also be very painful. If there is a large tear in the muscle or tendon, the pain may be continuous and the muscle constantly weak. Loss of shoulder movement is also a symptom of rotator cuff problems. Mayo Clinic's team approach offers patients coordinated care from experienced professionals dedicated to sports medicine. The team includes physiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, physical and occupational therapists.

The symptoms described, especially in the 40 to 80 year old person, are those of a rotator cuff injury. What the patient needs to know:"is the 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. 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.

Extractions: The rotator cuff is a set of 4 muscles that motor the shoulder joint. These muscles originate from the shoulder blade (or scapula) and turn into fibrous tendons as they approach the outer aspect 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 which we enjoy during 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 known as impingement syndrome. Either injury may also result in a complete tearing of the rotator cuff tendon from the humerus bone, known as a rotator cuff tear.

The shoulder is the most flexible, as well as the least stable, joint in the body (great range of motion comes at a price). Unlike the hip joint with its ball-and-socket design, the shoulder socket is a shallow saucer. While this allows for flexibility, the saucer doesn’t hold the ball of the joint as firmly as the hip socket. In addition, the shoulder joint’s ligaments are relatively weak. This means that stability must come from muscles and tendons that run across the joint. These 4 muscles are collectively called "the rotator cuff." What role does the rotator cuff play in golf?

Extractions: University of Iowa The four muscles that work together to stabilize and strengthen the shoulder are referred to as the 'rotator cuff.' A tendon attaches a muscle to the bone it moves. This skinny part of the muscle is called a tendon. Tendonitis is an inflammed tendon and any one or all of the tendons of the cuff muscles can become inflammed from overuse or improper use of the arm. Tendonitis of the rotator cuff is probably the most common reason for shoulder pain. Other symptoms of a rotator cuff tendonitis are: Throwing sports (such as baseball), swimming, or work that keeps the arms overhead put people at risk for rotator cuff tendonitis. Prevention is the key to avoiding tendonitis. remember to:

Extractions: The rotator cuff is the group of four tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. The tendons hook up to the four muscles that move the shoulder in various directions. The four muscles whose tendons form the rotator cuff are: the subscapularis muscle, which moves the arm by turning it inward (internal rotation); the supraspinatus muscle, which is responsible for elevating the arm and moving it away from the body; the infraspinatus muscle, which assists the lifting of the arm during turning the arm outward (external rotation); and the teres minor muscle, which also helps in the outward turning of the arm.

Four tendons attach muscles from the shoulder blade and ribs to the upper arm bone (humerus). Because these tendons help rotate the arm within its socket, this sleeve of tendons is called the rotator cuff.
