What Is A Rotator Cuff Tear In The Shoulder?
The rotator cuff is a group of muscle, ligaments and tendons in your shoulder that basically hold everything in place and stop your arm popping out of its socket when you raise you arm above your head. There are two main causes of a rotator cuff tear in the shoulder and they are, one; extreme trauma, like a big fall or sustaining and injury to your shoulder. The second is due to age, in some cases the rotator cuff just kind of falls apart as a result of normal ware and tear on the body. Sometimes we see this process is sped up by spurring in the shoulder.
But that said for most people under 40 it requires quite a large and or strong injury to tear the rotator cuff given the general robustness of the cuff in younger patients.
