A member asked:
Is surgery for a rotator cuff minor tear really needed? how long is the surgery? how many days will she be in the hospital? recovery process?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Second opinion: Rotator cuff tear has options for care. Start with physical therapy. Add laprascopic repair if not better. Okay to talk with your primary, your surgery team and a second opinion to get a full understanding of your options. Be well.
