What may happen to aligament of the arm if you pull a heavy object too hard?

What happened to my own arm and shoulder was that I suffered a rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder, years ago, which still bothers me when trying to lift heavy objects or if I should twist my arm in some way. I was offered surgery at the time but decided the trauma of surgery was less desirable than coping with the rotator cuff tear. I was wrong. If you should encounter such an accident, by all means have the surgery if you're sufficiently well to undergo it.
