Rotator cuff repair is a surgical procedure to mend torn tendons in the rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons that stabilizes and facilitates movement in the shoulder joint. During the operation, damaged tissues are removed, and the torn tendon is reattached to the bone using sutures or anchors. The goal is to restore the functionality and strength of the rotator cuff, relieving pain and preventing further damage.
