Rotator cuff injuries: when surgery is the right solution

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 scapula, helping the shoulder joint move 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.
