Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and disability in the upper extremity. With the growing elderly population, treatment of fullthickness rotator cuff tears has become a common dilemma facing orthopedic surgeons.

In the general population, the prevalence of rotator cuff disease seems to correlate with the aging process. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound studies on asymptomatic individuals have found a high prevalence of partial and full thickness tears, with percentages correlating closely with subject age.

In this video we will cover everything from common presentation, the best exercises/rehab and what specific conditions is surgery recommended prior to conservative care.
