Your doctor told you to take surgery as the final treatment for your rotator cuff problem because your pain can’t be reduced with the oral or injectable medication methods.

1. Surgery as Your Final Medical Treatment
for Your Rotator Cuff Problems.
Your doctor told you to take surgery as the final treatment for your
rotator cuff problem because your pain can’t be reduced with the oral
or injectable medication methods. Your doctor also suggests surgery
when your rotator cuff condition is getting worse because it is not
only torn away from the shoulder joint, but also suffers from accident
injuries, frozen shoulder, arthritis, or other shoulder problems. In
spite of your doctor suggests, you can ask your doctor to conduct the
surgery because you as an athlete need to recover from the rotator
problem immediately.
The purpose of the surgery is repairing the damaged tendon of your
rotator cuff, connecting the tendon to the head of your upper arm
bone, relief your constant pain, and regain the stability of the rotator
cuff as well as your arm. These purposes give you some direct benefits
to your daily life because you can return to your normal activities
without discomfort feeling and restricted arm movement.
Thanks to Gilles Walch, who has developed some techniques and
innovation in the orthopedic surgery, there are many options that
allow you to choose the suitable surgery for your condition and your
requirement. If you are an athlete, the options will bring so many
benefits for you. Imagine that you can go back to your tennis court or
baseball yard as soon as possible to make better scores.

2. The common surgery options for rotator problems are traditional
open surgical method, Arthroscopy, mini-open surgical method, and
reverse surgical method. These options will be adjusted to your
rotator cuff problem, health condition, anatomy, healthy habits, and
the quality of your tissue and muscles that relate to your arm. Your
surgeon qualification also can influence your choice of the surgery
options.
The traditional surgical method requires large cuts on your shoulder.
This is effective to treat your complicated rotator cuff problems or the
rotator cuff that has torn away from your arm bone. The recovery
from this surgery requires a long time and long-term rehabilitation
with the physical exercises.
Arthroscopy requires small cuts from one to three cuts depends on
your rotator cuff problems. This method utilizes the arthroscope, the
thin and mini camera, to monitor the damaged area and the exact
cause of your pain before your surgeon repairs the damage. This type
of surgery can speed up your healing. But, the fast healing requires a
good stamina and health condition for you.
The mini-open surgery combines the most advanced surgical
instruments, such as arthroscope, to treat your rotator cuff and repair
the damaged area. This surgery is efficient because your surgeons can
treat the damaged part, directly without the help of monitor’s view.
However, every rotator cuff surgery has the best effect and side effect.
For further information, consult with your current doctor because
your doctor knows your shoulder and your health condition better
than anyone explain about the good and the side effect of each surgery
for you.
