Shoulder Replacement
In most rotator cuff injuries, your doctor may have to recommend a complete shoulder replacement surgery. This procedure involves performing reverse shoulder arthroplasty to increase the artificial joints stability. That is, the surgeon attaches the ball part of the prosthetic joint to the shoulder blades and the socket to the arm bone.
Arthroscopic Tendon Repair
Arthroscopic tendon repair is a surgical procedure that occurs when the surgeon uses a particular surgical equipment and a medical device called an arthroscope which is basically a camera that is inserted into the shoulder by making small incisions. This surgical procedure helps reattach the torn tendon to the bone. It is a pain-relieving procedure that can strengthen your rotator cuff [5].
