Rotator cuff tear such symptoms frequently are diagnosed with failed rotator cuff syndrome. According to an article published by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, arthroscopic procedures produce "satisfactory results" more than 90 percent of the time. Dr. Eric J. Strauss and the other authors wrote that 6-8 percent of patients have "incompetent" rotator cuffs, because their repaired tendons either fail to heal or develop additional tears. In some cases, the symptoms are due to cervical spine disease, featuring neck pain that radiates into the shoulder; suprascapular neuropathy, a nerve disorder; subacromial impingement, common in athletes and others who make repetitive overhead movements;
Rotator cuff interval is also associated with glenohumeral and biceps instability. The rotator cuff includes muscles such as the supraspinatus muscle, the infraspinatus muscle, the teres minor muscle and the subscapularis muscle. The upper arm consists of the deltoids, biceps, as well as the triceps. Steps must be taken and precautions need to be made in order for the rotator cuffs to heal properly following surgery while still maintaining function to prevent any deteriorating effects on the muscles. In the immediate postoperative period (within one week following surgery), pain can be treated with a standard ice wrap. There are also commercial devices
