Rotator Cuff Tear

Resolving tendon detachments in the shoulder to relieve night pain and restore power.

A rotator cuff tear is a common cause of pain and disability in adults. Dr. Sai Dinesh diagnoses partial or full-thickness tendon tears. He builds custom recovery pathways, starting with targeted physical therapy or utilizing advanced double-row arthroscopic reattachments for active patients.

Treatment Modalities

Treatment options depend on tear size, patient age, and activity levels:

  • ✔ Conservative Care: Corticosteroid or PRP injections combined with physical therapy for partial tears.
  • ✔ Arthroscopic Repair: Anchoring full-thickness tears back to the humeral footprint using keyhole portals.
  • ✔ Rehabilitation: Specialized post-op protocols to protect the tendon during biological healing.
