Abstract

One of the most frequent causes of shoulder pain is the damage of the rotator cuff tendon. Its etiology is multifactorial and the symptoms often require prompt medical intervention. It can be easily identified through thorough clinical exam using proper diagnostic methods. There are different kinds of tears, and consequently also different kinds of medical treatment options. The most common tear is that of the supraspinatus tendon. Nowadays, arthroscopic repair is the golden standard for the rotator cuff repair.
