Extractions: The rotator cuff is a set of 4 muscles that motor the shoulder joint. These muscles originate from the shoulder blade (or scapula) and turn into fibrous tendons as they approach the outer aspect of the shoulder. These 4 tendons surround the front, top, and back of the shoulder joint. A lubricating tissue (or bursa) lies on the surface of the rotator cuff tendons. The tendons and bursa normally glide smoothly between the bone at the tip of the shoulder (called the acromion) and the top of the upper arm bone (the humerus.) When the rotator cuff muscles contract, they pull on the rotator cuff tendons, allowing the shoulder to move through the wide range of motion which we enjoy during daily and recreational activities. How is the rotator cuff injured? The rotator cuff may be injured by one dramatic trauma, such as falling on an outstretched arm, or it may be injured by repetitive overhand activity. Either form of injury can lead to swelling of the rotator cuff tendon and its bursa known as impingement syndrome. Either injury may also result in a complete tearing of the rotator cuff tendon from the humerus bone, known as a rotator cuff tear.

Extractions: full article The subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor are small muscles situated close to the glenohumeral joint (ball-and-socket joint) of the shoulder. Collectively, these four muscles are known as the rotator cuff. Although they have individual actions, their main role is to work together to stabilise the humeral head (ball) in the glenoid (socket). People are often told that they have injured one particular member of the rotator cuff, with the most common diagnosis being supraspinatus tendinitis. However, it is unlikely that the problem is with just one of the muscles in isolation. The world's top shoulder surgeons refer to such conditions as a 'rotator cuff injury' and consider the picture as a whole. Although the rotator cuff can be injured by a single traumatic incident, this is not common. Injury to the rotator cuff will usually begin as inflammation (tendinitis) caused by some form of microtrauma (a small but continuous source of irritation). If the cause of the inflammation is not addressed, and continues over a long period of time, partial tears may develop in the cuff that could eventually become complete tears (a tear all the way through one or more of the rotator cuff muscles). There are three main causes of microtrauma to the rotator cuff:

Medical Services Rotator Cuff Injury Rotator Cuff Injury Treatment Appointments Clinical Trials Department of Orthopedic Surgery ... Medical Services A rotator cuff injury is a painful strain or tear in the tendons and muscles surrounding the shoulder joint. Rotator cuff problems are common among people whose jobs or hobbies include heavy demands on their shoulders, such as athletes and people in construction trades. As people get older, the risk of a rotator cuff injury also increases. Injuries to the rotator cuff can include tendonitis, partial or full tears in the muscle or tendon. The most common symptom of a rotator cuff injury is pain. Simple things like reaching up to comb your hair or bending your arm back to put on a jacket can be uncomfortable and hard to do. Lying or sleeping on the affected shoulder can also be very painful. If there is a large tear in the muscle or tendon, the pain may be continuous and the muscle constantly weak. Loss of shoulder movement is also a symptom of rotator cuff problems. Mayo Clinic's team approach offers patients coordinated care from experienced professionals dedicated to sports medicine. The team includes physiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, physical and occupational therapists.

Extractions: We will publish articles from Dr. Steven Horwitz about training, injuries, nutrition, and other important and relevent topics to help athletes stay healthy and excel. Rotator Cuff (shoulder) Injuries The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The arm bone (humerus) ends in a ball shaped surface (humeral head) that fits into a very shallow socket (glenoid). This socket is part of the wingbone (scapula). This shallow socket allows the shoulder joint tremendous range of motion. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles which rotate the humerus and hold the shoulder in place by keeping the humeral head in the proper position inside the glenoid socket. These muscles allow everyday repetitive motions like scratching behind your head or back, painting, waxing, using hand tools, reaching, and lifting overhead. They are used extensively in athletic activities like throwing a ball, serving a tennis ball and driving a golf ball. Thus, chronic wear and tear or a fall or collision can cause injury to the rotator cuff. It is not uncommon for a patient to have intermittent shoulder pain for several years which is not completely relieved by rest and anti-inflammatory medication.

A rotator cuff injury may result from: The symptoms of a torn rotator cuff are: Your doctor will perform a physical exam and check your shoulder for pain, tenderness, and loss of motion as you move your arm in all directions. Your doctor also will ask whether your shoulder pain began suddenly or gradually. An x-ray may be done to rule out fractures and bone spurs. Based on these results, your doctor may order other tests and procedures either right away or later, including:

Extractions: ROTATOR CUFF INJURY The four muscles that work together to stabilize and strengthen the shoulder are referred to as the ROTATOR CUFF. The skinny end of a muscle is called a TENDON. A tendon attaches a muscle to the bone it moves. TENDONITIS is an inflamed tendon and any one or all of the tendons of the cuff muscles can become inflamed from overuse or improper use of the arm. Tendonitis of the rotator cuff is probably the most common reason for shoulder pain. Other SYMPTOMS of a rotator cuff tendonitis are: * limited motion * redness, warmth, or swelling * weakness and * tenderness of the shoulder Throwing sports (such as baseball), swimming, or work that keeps the arms overhead put people at risk for rotator cuff tendonitis. PREVENTION is the key to avoiding tendonitis. Remember to: * stay in shape * know your limits * use good posture for lifting * drink plenty of fluids and * stretch your arm muscles before exercise or heavy or repeated use Sometimes the rotator cuff will tear. This is a more serious injury. This can occur from a shoulder dislocation, direct trauma to the shoulder, or a fall on the shoulder, which can tear the rotator cuff. Surgery is often required to repair a tear. MILD INJURIES can be treated with a combination of rest and gentle exercise. Anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin or ibuprofen will often help. Ice packs will usually reduce swelling and pain. Sometimes ultrasound and cortisone injections are needed. Surgery is necessary in some cases of rotator cuff injury.

Extractions: Rotator Cuff Injury Whether you swing a racquet, a bat, or a golf club, if you do it long and hard enough, chances are you'll develop a rotator cuff problem. The cuff is made up of four muscles that cause the shoulder to rotate in and out. All of those muscles are prone to become irritated or injured from over-use or trauma. Bone spurs, tears, and ruptures pose an additional risk. Conservative treatment is recommended. This may include rest, ice, and anti- inflammatory drugs. If surgery is necessary, the prognosis is good! 92-percent of patients report positive results up to five-years after the surgery.

References Rotator Cuff orthopedics.about.com/cs/rotatorcuff/a.htm The most common shoulder injury in sports occurs in the rotator cuff, the group of muscles, tendons, and ligaments that control the shoulder's mobility. There are multiple injuries associated with the rotator cuff, which are all grouped into the common term rotator cuff tear. Sport related injury to the rotator cuff is can be broken down in to two categories, chronic and acute. Chronic tear is far more common, and is usually a result of a tear that occurs in sports that entail a follow-through action such as repetitive throwing, overhead strokes, and swimming. The muscle or tendon tear is usually a result of joint imbalance that may be associated with looseness in the front of the shoulder caused by aweakness in supporting ligaments. Acute tears occur in instances of intense stress or pressure, such as lifting something extremely heavy. Here is an overview of sport specific injuries to the shoulder. The shoulder injury most common in swimmers is dubbed swimmer's shoulder. Swimmer's shoulder is caused by impingement of the soft tissue in the shoulder against the coracoacromial arch, or the acromion. This inflammatory condition is caused by the overhead free-style stroke. There are two phases of the stroke that overextend the shoulder muscles, and result in joint imbalance:

Extractions: staff@uihealthcare.com University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa Common injuries of the rotator cuff are tendonitis, bursitis, impingement syndrome, and rotator cuff tear. The rotator cuff is made up of muscles and tendons that hold the bones of the shoulder in place. The rotator cuff helps to move the shoulder and make it stronger. A bursa is a fluid filled sac. There are two bursae between the shoulder joint and the rotator cuff that keep the cuff from rubbing on the shoulder. The shoulder is the most moveable joint in the body. Because the shoulder can move so many different ways, it is not very stable. Injuries to the shoulder are often overuse injuries. Overuse injuries usually happen to people over 40 years old. An injury might result from: Tendonitis is an inflammation of a tendon usually caused by the tendon being pinched between other parts of the shoulder. Tendonitis can cause the tendon to become thicker. Impingement syndrome occurs when the thickened rotator cuff tendon gets trapped under a bone of the shoulder. Bursitis is an inflammation of a bursa. Tendonitis, bursitis and impingement syndrome may occur alone or all at the same time.

That is why appropriate rehabilitation is extremely important. Rehabilitation for a torn rotator cuff or impingement often includes the following: Many rotator cuff injuries can be rehabilitated with a sling to immobilize your arm and shoulder. You also may be required to temporarily wear a shoulder brace when you return to your sport. These devices help hold the shoulder in place while the rotator cuff heals. Your doctor also may prescribe rehabilitation exercises once the sling is removed.
