A rotator cuff tear refers to a condition where the four tendons (rotator cuff) that move and stabilize the shoulder are partially or completely torn. It is a very common condition among middle-aged and older adults, occurring frequently not only in athletes but also in people during their daily lives. Rotator cuff tears are most commonly degenerative, caused by aging after the age of 50 or repetitive shoulder use. Traumatic tears also occur due to incidents such as falling on an outstretched hand, suddenly lifting heavy objects, or sports injuries (e.g., baseball, tennis). Surgery should be considered in cases of complete tears, traumatic tears in young patients, severe pain, lack of improvement after more than 3 months of conservative treatment, or significant muscle weakness. Most surgical procedures are performed via arthroscopic repair, where small incisions are made in the skin to reattach the torn tendon to the bone.
