[00:00:01][music] >> So, what is rotator cuff tears?

[00:00:07]So, rotator cuff tears are tear of a muscle group of our shoulder, which provide stability and power to raise our arm.

[00:00:18]If we look at this model, this is one of the main component of the rotator cuff.

[00:00:23]It is called supraspinatus.

[00:00:25]And these tears, they happen by injuries or sometimes because of degeneration in elderly age groups.

[00:00:34]So, these tears are very painful and one loses the capacity to raise their arm upwards.

[00:00:40]So, if it's a minor tear, it can be managed non-operatively by medicines, physiotherapy, and splintage. But if it's a major tear and the muscle is torn and displaced, then it requires anchoring back in the bone by some small stitches which are called anchors.
