The rotator cuff is a collection of muscles and tendons in the shoulder that anchors the upper arm bone, called the humerus, to niches in the clavicle and scapula, becoming the shoulder joint in a ball-and-socket configuration. The rotator cuff helps the shoulder and arm move fluidly and without pain, but they can get injured from overuse, accidents, or wear away with time. In this article, a leading orthopaedic surgeon discusses the many ways to treat an injured rotator cuff, and how to know if surgery is necessary.
