I just had my rotator cuff repaired and was informed that the general cost of the surgery and follow up care would be in the range of 25,000.00 all in. I should qualify this by saying that I did go to one of the top centers in the country located in Los Angeles. I am not sure if this effects the cost, but I was more than willing to pay my share and wanted the best care available.

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles, whose combined mission is to keep the shoulder in its socket. A rotator "cup" doesn't exist in the world of anatomy. Perhaps you heard it from someone who mispronounced after not hearing clearly.

A rotator cuff tear is a subset of sprained shoulders.
A group of 4 muscles form the rotator cuff and help to stabilise the shoulder joint. It means that there is a tear in the rotator cuff muscles about 1.5 x 1.5 cm g. Rotator cuff injuries causes difficulty in lifting your arm and may require surgical intervention
A tear of the supraspinatus is a tear of the rotator cuff of the shoulder. Arthroscopic surgery is the repair to repair for this.
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and their related muscles that helps keep the upper arm bone securely placed, or seated, into the socket of the shoulder blade. Rotator cuff disorders are usually caused by a combination of factors, such as normal wear and tear. Age-related degeneration slowly damages the rotator cuff, causing one or more tendons to rub against the bones (impingement). Partial or complete tears to the rotator cuff tendon are more likely to occur when the rotator cuff is already scarred, weakened, or damaged. A complete rotator cuff tear in a person with an otherwise healthy shoulder is most often caused by an extremely forceful injury. PAINPAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
