Rotator Cuff Repair in Islamabad–Move Without Pain

The Rotator Cuff tear is a condition in which one or more of the muscles or tendons that are responsible for holding the shoulder in place are damaged partially or completely. It occurs due to sudden injuries or gradual tears, or shoulder dislocations that affect the ligaments in the shoulder. 

Rotator cuff tear surgery is a process of repairing the torn tendons in the rotator cuff to improve strength and range of motion in the shoulder. It is usually recommended when conservative treatments fail to provide comfort in case of large, traumatic, and function-limiting tears.

Usually 6–12 months after surgery, depending on healing progress, tear size, and rehabilitation outcomes.
Many arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs are done as day surgeries, but some patients may require an overnight stay depending on their medical condition and postoperative monitoring needs.
Yes, there is a risk of re-tear, especially in large or degenerative tears, or if postoperative rehabilitation guidelines are not followed. Maintaining shoulder strength and avoiding early overuse reduces this risk.

Partial tears may improve with rest and physiotherapy, but full-thickness tears do not heal spontaneously and often require surgical repair for functional recovery.
