    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Sports Medicine
    • Musculoskeletal Disorders

    Background:

    • Rotator cuff tears are common and challenging shoulder injuries.
    • Understanding cuff-capsule mechanisms is vital for effective treatment.
    • Pathologic variations require surgeon awareness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline diagnostic approaches for rotator cuff tears.
    • To discuss treatment strategies for acute and chronic tears.
    • To describe optimal surgical techniques and postoperative care.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis based on patient history, physical examination, roentgenography, and arthrography.
    • Evaluation of acute versus chronic rotator cuff disease.
    • Surgical repair utilizing anterior or anterosuperior approaches and plastic surgery flap techniques.

    Main Results:

    • Definite diagnosis is essential for appropriate management.
    • Early operative treatment is indicated for some acute tears.
    • Conservative treatment is often suitable for chronic cuff disease.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical repair requires careful planning and execution.
    • Postoperative external support and physical therapy must be individualized.
    • Tailored rehabilitation is key to restoring function after rotator cuff repair.
