Rotator Cuff Repair

The rotator cuff tendons are important shoulder structures that allow you to lift and rotate your arm and help stabilize the shoulder joint. A rotator cuff injury may happen as a result of a fall or due to repetitive activities. Other causes may be attributed to bursitis or tendinitis.

At Kentucky Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, we specialize in minimally invasive or arthroscopic techniques for repairing the rotator cuff. Arthroscopic repair allows for small incisions and less postoperative pain. Typically, repair of the rotator cuff restores strength with overhead lifting and function.
