common disease. According to general population surveys, the prevalence of rotator cuff tear is 25 % in those older than 50 years of age and 20 % in those older than 20 years of age (1). The rotator cuff is a group of 4 muscles and their tendons supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis (2). These muscles connect the upper-arm bone, or humerus, to the shoulder blade. The important job of the rotator cuff is to keep the shoulder joint stable. RCT can be caused by degenerative changes

One of the most common types of shoulder injuries is a rotator cuff injury, which in many cases will require surgery. What is a Rotator Cuff Injury? Your rotator cuff is where your shoulder is attached to your body via tendons. A rotator cuff injury is when those tendons are pulled away from the head of your humerus or upper arm bone. Reasons You Would Need a Rotator Cuff Surgery? There are several diseases that could result in a rotator cuff injury such as tendinitis and bursitis. Additionally, repetitive

This paper is going to be over rotator cuff injuries and what to do if this occurs to an athlete. The rotator cuff consists of four muscles which are the Subscapularis, infraspinatus, teres minor, and the supraspinatus and their associated tendons that insert into the Humerus. These groups of muscles are responsible for rotating the arm internally and externally as well as abducting the shoulder. The acronym for the four muscles of the rotator cuff is known as SITS.

call me the glenohumoral joint. The shouldr joint is a ball and socket type joint and is connected to part of the humerus and the scapula at the glenoid cavity.

Evidence indicates that there is a natural age-related degeneration of the rotator cuff tendons. Rotator cuff tendon ruptures in older patients normally occur bilaterally and in the presence of preexisting tendon degeneration. The result of rotator cuff tendon degeneration puts the elderly population at a greater risk for developing type III shoulder impingement. An abnormally shaped acromion will also cause impingement on the cuff tendons. Three types of acromions have been identified. They are: type
