Suggest Treatment For Tendon Tears
I have just received MRI results of my shoulder. I was told that I had several tendon tears, as well as something underneath, I guess the bone and lots of fluid in the area. I m not scheduled to see a surgeon until Monday. I was wondering do the usually open up the shouldering cases like this or can those kind of repairs be done by arthroscope? I might had rotator cuff surgery over 20years ago.

Hi there.
These days, moderate to severe tendon tears are repaired commonly by an arthroscope. Rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons around the shoulder which may have torn again. Avoid lifting weights or performing overhead movements forcefully. The fluid is due to inflammation surrounding the tear.
