There are three types of rotator cuff surgery: 1  Arthroscopic: Your doctor will make a small cut in your shoulder then use an arthroscope -- a tube with a small camera and tiny instruments -- to fix the tear. 2  Open: Your doctor uses larger instruments to go in to the muscles of your shoulder and fix the tear.
A rotator cuff repair is usually done with either an arthroscope or as a surgery with an open, large incision or a very small incision. If your surgeon repairs your rotator cuff with an arthroscope, theyâll put the small camera in one hole, and then make one to three additional small incisions for other instruments.
