A member asked:
Is supartz (hyaluronic acid) beneficial for a torn rotator cuff that cannot be repaired surgically?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get a second opinion: Most rotator cuff tears are repairable and should be fixed asap. Get a second opinion before delaying with injections. Visco injections are designed for treating arthritis, not rotator cuff tears. If you have both and will not be having surgery then it's worth a shot....so to speak. the should is an off label use of those injections.
