Rotator Cuff
Rotator Cuff Treatment & Surgery by Dr. Harsha G N
Rotator cuff injuries involve damage to the group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint and allow smooth arm movement. These injuries commonly occur due to repetitive overhead activities, sports injuries, trauma, or age-related tendon degeneration, leading to shoulder pain and weakness.
Depending on the severity of the tear, treatment may range from physiotherapy and injections to minimally invasive arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Surgical treatment aims to restore tendon function, relieve pain, and improve shoulder strength and mobility.
When to Consider Rotator Cuff Surgery
- Persistent shoulder pain despite conservative treatment
- Weakness or difficulty lifting or rotating the arm
- Large or complete rotator cuff tears on imaging
- Loss of shoulder function affecting daily activities
Advantages of Rotator Cuff Surgery
- Significant pain relief and improved shoulder comfort
- Restoration of shoulder strength and range of motion
- Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques with faster recovery
- Safe return to work, sports, and daily activities
Post-operative rehabilitation is essential for successful rotator cuff recovery. A structured physiotherapy program helps restore mobility, strength, and shoulder stability. Regular follow-up ensures proper tendon healing and long-term functional success.

My first operation ever (hopefully the last). The experience in the Operation Theatre was mind blowing. DK sir, all docs, and supporting staff were extremely cool right from the time I got into the Operation Theatre. I had to get my Ankle operated (2 fractures). I felt I was in safe hands throughout.

We have known Dr.Harsha for 2 years now. Had consulted him for my mother in law arthritis treatment. Recently visited him for my mother in law’s arm fracture. He provided us with the best course of treatment considering all the other health factors. Always seen him as a very humble person, provides knowledgable care and takes time to address all our doubts and fears. Good doctors like Dr.Harsha replace the fear of illness with trust in recovery. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good orthopaedic advice and treatment. I am really grateful for your exceptional care and dedication to patient well being.
