Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to fix torn rotator cuff tendons. It involves making small incisions and using a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments to reattach the torn tendon to the bone. This technique causes less tissue damage than open surgery, leading to less pain, smaller scars, and faster early recovery. Arthroscopic repair is commonly used for full-thickness or large partial tears that do not improve with physical therapy or other conservative treatments. While recovery can take several months and involves a period of immobilization followed by physical therapy, long-term outcomes are often very good when the tear is properly repaired.
