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.
Rotator cuff surgery is the surgical repair of a damaged rotator cuff tendon. The rotator cuff tendons are tough piece of connective tissue that control the motion of your shoulder joint. Your shoulder joint is formed where your upper arm bone (humerus), shoulder blade (scapula), and collarbone (clavicle) meet. Tendons attach a group of four muscles to these bones to form your rotator cuff.
