Shoulder Tendon Repair
Supraspinatus Tear and Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery in Indore
Supraspinatus repair and rotator cuff repair surgery are considered for selected painful or weak shoulders after MRI review of tear size, retraction, tendon quality and stiffness.
Tendon tear assessment
Partial, full-thickness, traumatic and degenerative tears need different decisions.
Repairability review
Retraction, atrophy and fatty degeneration affect surgical planning.
Tendon healing timeline
Recovery is staged around protection, motion, strength and return to activity.
Supraspinatus tear, rotator cuff repair and shoulder bursitis
Pain while lifting the arm, night pain and true weakness can come from supraspinatus tear, cuff tear, bursitis, stiffness or neck referral.
Common symptoms and concerns
- Night pain while lying on the shoulder.
- Pain while lifting the arm to the side.
- Weakness in overhead work or lifting objects.
- Pain after fall, jerk, gym injury or sudden pull.
- MRI showing supraspinatus tear, partial tear or full-thickness tear.
- Subacromial bursitis or impingement-like pain.
Who should consult
- Patients with MRI-confirmed supraspinatus tear.
- Patients comparing physiotherapy, injection and cuff repair.
- Patients with traumatic weakness after fall or jerk.
- Patients with persistent night pain and painful arc.
- Patients needing repairability review before surgery.
When supraspinatus repair consultation is useful
Consultation helps separate repairable tendon tear from stiffness, arthritis, bursitis and pain-limited movement.
Book a consultation for
- MRI showing rotator cuff or supraspinatus tear.
- True weakness while lifting the arm.
- Night pain not improving with basic treatment.
- Traumatic shoulder pain in an older patient.
- Persistent shoulder bursitis or impingement symptoms despite guided care.
Urgent care warning
- Severe fresh injury, open wound, major deformity, loss of sensation, high fever or rapidly increasing pain should be taken to emergency care first.
- For planned opinion, bring reports so the next step can be explained clearly.
MRI-based rotator cuff repair planning
Repair decisions depend on tendon quality, tear pattern, stiffness and patient goals.
Reports to bring
- MRI shoulder films and report.
- Shoulder X-rays for arthritis, superior migration or calcification.
- Details of injury date and weakness onset.
- Previous injections, physiotherapy or surgery records.
Treatment discussion
- Physiotherapy, posture work and cuff strengthening for selected cases.
- Medicines or injection for selected inflammatory bursitis-dominant pain.
- Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair for suitable symptomatic repairable tears.
- Biceps or subacromial procedures only when indicated by findings.
- Staged rehabilitation after tendon repair.
Common questions
Short answers for patients comparing symptoms, reports and treatment options.
What is supraspinatus repair?
Supraspinatus repair is surgery to repair a torn supraspinatus tendon back to bone, usually as part of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
Does every supraspinatus tear need surgery?
No. Treatment depends on tear size, symptoms, weakness, age, activity needs, stiffness and MRI findings.
What is arthroscopic rotator cuff repair?
It is keyhole shoulder surgery where the torn rotator cuff tendon is repaired using small instruments and anchors.
How long does recovery take after rotator cuff repair?
Recovery is staged over months, with protection first, then motion, strengthening and gradual activity return.
Can shoulder bursitis be treated without surgery?
Often yes. Many cases improve with medicines, activity changes, physiotherapy and selected injections.
Next Step
Book supraspinatus tear consultation
Bring MRI films, X-rays and weakness details so rotator cuff repairability and treatment options can be reviewed.
