A rotator cuff injury is an event that causes pain in the shoulder. This can be due to a tear, inflammation or narrowing of the space within the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff muscles interlock to work as a unit. They help to stabilise the shoulder joint and also help with shoulder joint movement. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson takes a specific look at tears to the rotator cuff – a problem often seen in primary care. The episode covers causes, diagnosis and treatment, including conservative approaches and surgical options.
