What is a rotator cuff? How do you repair it?

The rotator cuff is a crucial part of the shoulder joint that can often be injured, resulting in pain in the shoulder. Treatment and rehabilitation of rotator cuff injuries have come a long way and many people are now able to experience impressive results without surgery. Injections of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Hyaluronic Acid (HA) are now recognized to be such potent anti-inflammatories and pain relievers that they have become our first-line therapy for many orthopaedic shoulder injuries.

For injuries beyond repair from injections alone, Dr. Stone employs the latest techniques for outpatient arthroscopic tissue repair, reducing risk by using a local anesthetic and a minimally invasive surgical technique to repair full or partial tears—without using implants or hardware.  

This repair, combined with anabolic injection therapy and carefully-guided, early physical therapy sessions, allows patients to recover more quickly and restore a full range of motion to the injured shoulder.
