Rotator Cuff Tear

There are three different types of rotator cuff injuries that can occur:

Acute rotator cuff tear: Occurs during sudden impact or heavy lifting. This tends to happen more often in those who are older.
Chronic rotator cuff tear: Most often found in athletes and those whose jobs require repetitive motions. Sometimes chronic tears are due to past acute injuries.
Tendinitis: Occurs in those who are older and have worn out the muscles in their shoulders. Tendinitis occurs where the tendon meets the bone. This reduces the amount of blood that reaches that area.

Patient Review

Dr. Pollock has performed three surgeries on my husband's shoulders. He is very, very skilled as well as a compassionate, nice person. Could not recommend him more highly.
