Rotator Cuff Repair in Malaysia

Rotator cuff repair is a keyhole or open surgical procedure to reattach torn tendons of the shoulder to the bone, relieving pain and restoring shoulder strength and function.

Overview

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint. Tears occur from acute injury or degenerative wear and can cause significant pain, weakness, and inability to raise the arm. Arthroscopic repair reattaches the torn tendon to the bone using suture anchors through small incisions, minimising muscle damage. Large or massive tears may require open or mini-open techniques. Outcomes are excellent with appropriate rehabilitation — pain relief is achieved in over 90% of cases.
