A tear can occur due to a fall, sudden jerk, heavy lifting, or age‑related wear. Common signs of a rotator cuff tear: • Persistent shoulder pain, especially at night • Weakness while lifting the arm • Difficulty combing hair, reaching overhead, or wearing clothes • Clicking or catching sensation • Pain that does not improve with rest or basic medicines Who is advised Rotator Cuff Repair? Surgery is recommended when: • The tear is large or full‑thickness • Pain continues despite physiotherapy • Shoulder weakness affects daily activities • There is a traumatic injury in active adults • MRI shows significant tendon damage How the Procedure Is Done Dr. Amit Garud performs arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, a minimally invasive technique using tiny keyhole incisions.

If shoulder pain is affecting your sleep or daily routine, early orthopedic evaluation can prevent long‑term stiffness and weakness. A timely diagnosis helps you regain strength and move comfortably again.
