Even if a torn rotator cuff cannot be repaired, it doesn’t mean treatment should be ruled out, nor should individuals feel compelled to live with the condition. Alternative treatments are available, both surgical and non-surgical. Non-surgical options include anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, ice therapy, modifications in activity, and physical therapy.

If your rotator cuff can’t heal, it likely means the tear is too big, worn out, or pulled back too far for regular surgery to work. In this case, you may need to consider other treatments, like tendon transfers, reverse shoulder replacement surgery, or focus on managing pain and improving movement with physical therapy, depending on how serious your condition is and your lifestyle needs.

Recent innovations in rotator cuff repair surgery emphasise the use of minimally invasive arthroscopic methods, incorporating advanced suture anchors and bioinductive scaffolds to improve the healing process.
