Rotator Cuff
The rotator cuff (often mistakenly called rotator cup or rotary cuff) is a group of four tendons, and their muscles, that stabilize the shoulder joint and move the arm. Tendons are tough bands of connective tissue that attach the end of a muscle to a bone. A torn rotator cuff is a common sports injury. In most cases it is the tendons that are torn. Some shoulder pain is just from overuse or strain causing inflammation of the tendons (tendonitis).

Have it set so it would always be straight or have it set so it would always be bent at the elbow. He chose bent at he elbow so he could continue to play. The last I heard he is way up in his 80's and plays every Monday night at a place in NYC.
