Rotator Cuff Repair Treatment
Specialty Surgeon Complete Packaged Procedure.
Rotator Cuff Repair is a type of surgery to fix a torn tendon in the shoulder. The procedure can be done with a little (‘open’) incision or with shoulder arthroscopy, which uses small button-hole sized incisions. A rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that form a cuff over the shoulder joint.
These muscles and tendons hold the arm in its ‘ball and socket’ joint and help the shoulder to rotate. The role of the tendons is to hold the powerful shoulder muscles to the shoulder and arm bones. The tendons can be torn from overuse or injury.
Rotator cuff repair treatment cost includes the facility fee, physician’s fee, related medical procedures, and drugs required to administer the plan of care. Not included are diagnostic studies, consultations with additional specialists, and cost of complication management; travel, food, and lodging.
