Can A Rotator Cuff Tear heal by itself.mp4

[PhysicalTherapyTV]

Yes, the 3 muscles in the back are responsible for externally rotating your arm. Thanks for clearing that up.

@PhysicalTherapyTV How does Supraspinatus ext rotate? 

[shadywayside]

Yes, he misspoke initially by saying that the three in the back are involved in internal rotation. He says it correctly a few sentences later.

Funny, he actually says internally... But what do I know.

[inocentehinojosa]

Except for the subscapularis, all other rotor cuff muscles are involved in rotating shoulder externally...Huh? DId I miss something here?

Yes, it can heal without surgery but it's dependent on the severity and location of the tear. Partial tears can heal by itself with proper medical care, physical therapy, and time; looking at 1 to 2 years for complete recovery.

The "band" of tissue shown in the open pictures is the bicep tendon adjacent to a large cuff tear. It is very abnormal itself as seen by the inflammation on the tendon. A point worth making is that many individuals over 60 have cuff tears that are very minimally symptomatic. The trick is deciding which tears need to be repaired and which do not. A small degenerative tear can unfortunately get bigger with a reinjury and be very symptomatic and quite difficult to fix at that point. .
