What does high grade insertional tear anteriorly in the supraspinatus footprint - 7mm sagittal with retraction of 5 mm. will i have to have surgery?

Discuss with orthopedic surgeon, as physical therapy may be useful, and surgical repair may not be urgent, but you provide only partial description of extent of abnormality, so, best that orthopedist who examines you and reviews your films provides recommendations.

This is potential surgery. It depends on pain, exam, and independent evaluation of the MRI by an orthopedic surgeon.
