Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1983
Usually, serious rotator cuff injuries can be operated upon and a high level of performance can be achieved afer surgery. This is not so for the substantial tears seen in baseball pitchers. However, a damaged rotator cuff can be rehabilitated and can recover from the threatened tear without surgery if detected early enough and given the proper ...

Labrum and rotator cuff injuries in the throwing athlete
The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 2015The large amount of force imparted across the shoulder during the act of throwing makes the glenohumeral joint highly susceptible to injury in the athlete performing overhead throwing motions. The bony incongruity of the shoulder enables greater range of motion than any other joint in the body, but it also results in significant strain on the ...

Biology of Rotator Cuff Injury and Repair
2020The glenohumeral joint is a complex anatomical structure commonly affected by injury such as tendinopathy and rotator cuff tears. Despite advances in surgical reconstruction of chronic rotator cuff tears, failure rates are still quite high. Significant research efforts have been focused on a better understanding of normal tendon biology, its ...

Rotator cuff injuries in overhead athletes
Operative Techniques in Orthopaedics, 2001Sporting activities, such as throwing, swimming, tennis, and the javelin, require the shoulder to rotate at high speeds with the arm abducted, which places the rotator cuff at risk for microtraumatic injury. The rotator cuff works with the labrum and glenohumeral ligaments to restrain abnormal motion of the humeral head on the glenoid.

Nonsurgical Treatment for Rotator Cuff Injury in the Elderly
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2008Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint in the general population. The elderly population is often afflicted, and rotator cuff problems are among the most common causes of shoulder pain seen in primary care practices. The prevalence of shoulder pain in the elderly has been estimated to range from 21% to 27%, and the prevalence of rotator ...

Rotator Cuff Injuries in Professional and Recreational Athletes
Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances, 2013Professional and recreational athletes involved in contact sports and sports with repetitive overhead motion are at increased risk for rotator cuff tears. Shoulder anatomy, pathology, and biomechanics place unique stress on the rotator cuff tendons during sports activity. Athletes demand effective treatment to quickly return to elite competition.

Rotator Cuff Tears and Associated Nerve Injuries
Orthopedics, 2000ABSTRACT A series of 15 patients with concomitant rotator cuff tears and infraclavicular brachial plexus injuries treated between 1 980 and 1 989 were reviewed. There were 6 men and 9 women with a mean age of 65 years. Seventeen nerve injuries were identified, including 12 axillary nerves, 4 suprascapular nerves, and 1 musculocutaneous nerve.

Mechanics and Healing of Rotator Cuff Injury
2008Rotator cuff injuries are among the most prevalent and poorly delineated musculoskeletal problems facing orthopedic surgeons. Cadaveric studies of asymptomatic individuals have shown the prevalence of rotator cuff tears to be between 30% and 50% and this prevalence increases with age.1,2 Occupational injury of the shoulder, and of the rotator cuff in ...
