Rotator Cuff Tears are Acute Injuries that are Common After a Fall or Motor Vehicle Accident. If Not Given Proper Medical Attention, They Can Have Permanent Consequences or Require Surgery.
Rotator cuff tears are tears to the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles. When the tendon is torn, you feel weakness in the shoulder.
Those who have tears in their rotator cuffs typically have a history of shoulder problems, but this can also happen suddenly through heavy lifting or a hard fall. For instance, if a customer slips at a grocery store and falls on their shoulder, they may sustain a rotator cuff tear.
An acute injury from a fall or accident can cause significant pain and even disability with range of motion or use of the shoulder joint. If not treated correctly or in severe cases, the injury may be permanent and require surgery to repair.
