What patients ask
Rotator cuff repair — FAQs
Do all cuff tears need surgery?
No. Many partial tears respond to targeted rehab and injections. Surgery is considered for persistent pain, weakness, or full-thickness tears.
Is the repair always arthroscopic?
Most modern repairs are arthroscopic. Open or mini-open techniques are used in select cases with complex tissue patterns.
When can I drive or return to work?
Desk work typically 2–3 weeks; manual work later depending on tear size and strength milestones. Driving resumes once off strong pain meds and you have safe control.
