In 1994 David Chalmers published a paper explaining why consciousness is such a challenging phenomenon to understand. Although he wasnât the first to discuss these challenges, he was the first to categorize them into two types of problems: âeasyâ problems and the âhardâ problem.
Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (or shoulder arthritis with a large rotator cuff tear) is a severe and complex form of shoulder arthritis in which the shoulder has lost not only the cartilage that normally covers its joint surface but also the tendons of the rotator cuff tear which help position and power the joint.enetics. Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (or shoulder arthritis with a large rotator cuff tear) is not known to be inherited although rotator cuff tears appear to be more common in individuals from families in which other members also have cuff tears.
Rotator cuff degeneration and tears may also be caused by aging. If the rotator cuff is injured, it may need to be repaired surgically. This may include shaving off bone spurs that are pinching the shoulder, and repairing torn tendons or muscles in the shoulder. Surgical techniques that may be used to repair a tear of the rotator cuff include arthroscopy, open surgery, or a combination of both. The goal of rotator cuff repair surgery is to help restore the function and flexibility of the shoulder and to relieve the pain that cannot be controlled by other treatments.
