The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons in your shoulder. They help you lift and move your arms away from your body. The rotator cuff keeps the ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) in the shoulder blade socket. A partial or complete rotator cuff tear makes it difficult to raise and move your arm. You may have shoulder pain and arm weakness.
Your shoulder is an important joint that rotates with a greater range of motion than any other joint in your body. If it’s causing you pain to the point that you can’t reach into a cabinet, can’t sleep well, or experience other symptoms, your healthcare provider might consider replacement surgery. This procedure can relieve your pain and increase mobility.
