Rotator Cuff

Rotator cuff tears are common and are a frequent source of shoulder pain and disability. A wide variation in the prevalence of rotator cuff tears has been reported. The etiology of rotator cuff tear remains multifactorial and attempts to unify intrinsic and extrinsic theories tried to explain the etio pathogenesis of rotator cuff tears. Knowledge of the etic pathogenesis of rotator cuff tears is important to improve our therapies, surgical techniques and promote tendon repair. Several strategies have been proposed to enhance tendon healing and recently research has focused on regenerative therapies, such as Growth Factors (GFs) and Plasma Rich Platelet (PRP), with high expectations of success.

The clinical diagnosis is not always easy. Painful conditions of the long head biceps or acormioclavicular joint may result in high false positive rate. The clinical presentation of rotator cuff (RC) pathology is extremely variable. A recent review concluded that RCTs are frequently asymptomatic. Such variation in clinical features is a question that remains to be answered. Physical examination should include inspection, palpation, the evaluation of active and passive range of motion, the execution of strength and provocative tests.
