Rotator cuff tear has always attracted great interest because it
may cause shoulder pain, loss of strength, simple or complex
disabilities, and partial or total inability to work, reducing
quality of life. The goals of cuff repair are to restore
footprint anatomy with biomechanically secure, tension-free
construction that promotes biological healing at the
tendon-to-bone interface. Even today, there is cause for
discussion about when and how to perform surgical repair and on
what to do in cases of irreparable rupture. This book casts light
on such issues. It is especially designed for shoulder surgeons
and rehabilitation specialists and will also be of value for
residents and shoulder fellows.
