Your bones and muscles support your body and enable movement. Their complex interactions allow you to perform everyday activities\u2014working, cooking, playing with your children, or practicing sports. All of this is made possible by your musculoskeletal system. However, for many people, movement can become difficult or painful due to a variety of causes, including injury, disease, aging or degenerative conditions. This is where orthopedic care plays a crucial role in relieving the pain and improving musculoskeletal function.<\/span><\/p>\n

Orthopedic surgery is a specialty dedicated to the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting bones, muscles, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Orthopedic surgeons are trained to repair, restore, and reconstruct these structures, helping to relieve pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shoulder rotator cuff tear<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]A rotator cuff tear is an injury that affects the tendons of the muscles located in the shoulder and used to initiate movement. It can occur either through wear and tear of the tendons due to repetitive daily actions, or following trauma.<\/p>\n

Here is some information about the symptoms, causes and treatments of this condition.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Symptoms<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Pain accompanied by an inability to raise the arm straight away are often the first symptoms. The shoulder can be painful with cracking during mobilization but it maintains a certain mobility without force. In some cases, the shoulder may have lost a lot of its mobility (pseudo-paralytic) and remain painful. It is important to consult quickly if a rotator cuff tear is suspected.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Causes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Rotator cuff tear can be of traumatic origin, mainly in young people, following an accident (for example, a fall from a bicycle, skiing or lifting effort. In older people, it can result from wear of the tendons of the cuff due to repetitive daily movements (for example in drywall masons, farmers, cashiers or caregivers.)\u00a0 Around 55-60 years of age, these people whose tendons are worn can see their tendons rupture following a trivial action, such as pulling or carrying something heavy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ offset=”vc_col-md-6″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/398Z8K06tQQ”][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Treatments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For a partial rotator cuff tear or in an elderly patient, medical treatment may be preferred. It may include analgesics, rest, physiotherapy rehabilitation and infiltrations. When the lesions are disabling and operable, surgical treatment is considered. Post-operative rehabilitation is essential to restore shoulder mobility and strength. It is crucial to consult a healthcare professional to assess the severity of the rotator cuff tear and determine the appropriate treatment. Each case is unique and treatment will be adapted according to the individual situation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” padding_top=”70″ padding_bottom=”87″ z_index=”” css=”.vc_custom_1650044568907{margin-top: -30px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″ offset=”vc_col-md-6″ css=”.vc_custom_1650044580984{margin-top: -30px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
