Rotator cuff repair information and locations in Mexico
A Rotator cuff Repair consists on the repair of the damaged tendons that rotate your shoulder.
Injuries, and the wear and tear from regular activities are the most common reasons that
candidates for this procedure experience.
Depending on the patient, doctors may choose to perform an open surgery on the shoulder or they
may decide to perform an arthroscopy, which is generally more common. The former may lead to an
overnight stay at the hospital, while the latter may allow the patient to return home on the
same day of operation (same day procedure). A combination of both procedures may be used; this
is called a mini-open surgery that could also need an overnight stay. All can be performed under
general or local anesthesia.
