Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat tears of the rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that provide stability and enable smooth shoulder movement. When these tendons are torn, it can lead to pain, weakness, and restricted arm movement.
With advanced arthroscopic techniques, Dr. Dnyaneshwar, an experienced Orthopaedic Surgeon in Bangalore, restores shoulder strength, stability, and function while ensuring faster recovery and minimal scarring.
You may require this procedure if you experience:
Persistent shoulder pain, especially at night
Difficulty lifting or rotating the arm
Weakness in the shoulder
Pain while performing overhead activities
Reduced range of motion
Shoulder pain that does not improve with medication or physiotherapy
Rotator cuff tears are common in athletes, manual workers, and older adults.
Common causes and risk factors include:
Age-related tendon degeneration
Repetitive overhead activities
Sports injuries (cricket, tennis, swimming)
Sudden trauma or falls
Poor posture or muscle imbalance
Previous shoulder injuries
Early identification helps prevent progression of tendon damage.

Shoulder pain persists beyond a few weeks
Pain interferes with sleep or daily activities
There is noticeable shoulder weakness
Non-surgical treatments fail to provide relief
Prompt consultation improves surgical outcomes and recovery.
Diagnosis includes:
Detailed clinical shoulder examination
