Rotator Cuff Injuries Directory
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that cover the top of your upper arm bone and help you rotate your shoulder. Rotator cuff injuries are quite common. Millions of Americans visit a doctor every year because of a rotator cuff disorder. Such injuries may be due to inflammation, infection, or a tear in the muscle or tendon. Excessive, repeated, overhead movements, such as those performed during swimming or playing tennis, can lead to a rotator cuff injury. Damage to the rotator cuff makes it difficult for you to lift your arm and reach above your head.
