-- Titan Orthopedics is addressing a growing concern for millions of Americans suffering from rotator cuff tears, offering both surgical and non-surgical treatment options to restore function and reduce pain. Rotator cuff injuries are a common source of shoulder pain, affecting over 2 million Americans each year. The rotator cuff, a complex group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint, is critical for daily activities and can become inflamed or damaged through injury or overuse. Titan Orthopedics provides expert diagnosis and a range of treatment options tailored to each patient’s needs.
Rotator cuff tears can range from partial-thickness, where only part of the tendon is damaged, to full-thickness tears where the tendon is completely separated from the bone. Common causes include overuse from repetitive overhead motions, direct injury from falls or blows, age-related tissue degeneration, bone spurs, and reduced blood flow that impairs healing. Symptoms of a rotator cuff tear may vary from a dull ache to sharp pain, often accompanied by limited range of motion, weakness, stiffness, or a clicking or popping sound in the shoulder. Night pain is also a common issue, particularly when lying on the affected side.
Diagnosis at Titan Orthopedics begins with a thorough physical examination followed by imaging tests such as X-rays, ultrasounds, or MRI scans to assess the tear's severity. While X-rays can reveal other conditions affecting the joint, ultrasounds and MRIs provide detailed views of the soft tissues, allowing for accurate diagnosis. The team at Titan Orthopedics emphasizes early diagnosis and personalized care to ensure the best possible outcome for each patient.
For many patients with partial tears, non-surgical treatments such as rest, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections can offer significant relief. Titan Orthopedics offers customized physical therapy programs to help patients regain strength and mobility, alongside other conservative treatments to manage pain and inflammation effectively. However, for those with complete tears or when conservative measures fail, surgical intervention may be necessary. Titan Orthopedics provides advanced surgical options, including arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, open repair, tendon transfer, and shoulder replacement, depending on the tear's extent and complexity.
Recovery from rotator cuff surgery can vary depending on the procedure performed and the patient’s overall health. Titan Orthopedics supports patients through every step of their recovery journey, providing post-operative care and rehabilitation programs designed to restore shoulder function as quickly and safely as possible. The team of experienced surgeons and therapists at Titan Orthopedics remains committed to helping patients achieve optimal outcomes and return to their daily activities with minimal disruption.
