TornRotatorCuff.net
A torn rotator cuff is the inflammation of the rotator cuff, which is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize and protect the shoulder. The rotator cuff tendons can become inflamed from growing older, falling on an outstretched hand, overuse, or a vehicle accident. Occupations that require heavy lifting as well as sports that require overhead arm motion can put a strain on the rotator cuff muscles and tendons. The tendons are normally strong but after long time wear it can lead to a tear.
