disc prolapse
A tear of the rotator cuff in the shoulder often occurs due to overuse or injury. The exact cause may vary.

Treatment for a rotator cuff tear can be conservative and include periods of rest and physical therapy exercises to strengthen the shoulder muscles. In severe cases, surgery to repair the tendon may be necessary. An orthopedist or physical therapist can discuss the best course of action.
disc prolapse
The discovery and research of rotator cuff tears dates back to the 19th century. This injury affects the muscles and tendons around the shoulder, particularly the rotator cuff. During the medical advances of the 19th century, the anatomy and functions of the shoulder joint were studied in greater detail. Rotator cuff tears became better understood and initial surgical techniques for repair were developed. Over time, these techniques have evolved to improve patient recovery. Today, rotator cuff tears are a common problem that can often be treated successfully.
