  • Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff RepairArthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

    Rotator cuff is the group of tendons in the shoulder joint providing support and enabling wider range of motion. Major injury to these tendons may result in tear of these tendons and the condition is called as rotator cuff tear. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles in the shoulder joint including the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis.
