My name is Uma Srikumaran. I'm an orthopedic surgeon with Johns Hopkins...

and Howard County General Hospital.

I specialize in shoulder surgery.

The rotator cuff is a set of four muscles and tendons that attach the shoulder blade...

to the proximal part of your arm or the proximal humerus.

It serves to stabilize the shoulder and socket...

and also helps lift and rotate your arm.

Common injuries to the rotator cuff include inflammation of the tendon itself....

or the surrounding tissue, called rotator cuff tendonitis or subacromial bursitis...

or more significant injuries such as tears.

These tears can be small or partial in size...

or they can involve the entire tendon's full thickness and be quite large.

They occur because of wear & tear

as we age or from acute traumatic injuries.

Treatment for rotator cuff tears can involve simple measures such as rest

and activity modification to avoiding activities that are painful for your shoulder

....to things like physical therapy and icing your shoulder and...

pain medications such as anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen and aspirin.

Surgery is a good option for treatment of rotator cuff tears when non-surgical
