A partial tear occurs when one of the muscles that make up the rotator cuff is torn. A complete rupture usually occurs as the tendons pull away from their attachment to the bone.  <\/p>\n\n<p>it is a common injury, especially in athletes, in workers who use their arms raised, such as painters and window cleaners, and when carrying heavy weights. It occurs when falling on the shoulder.   <\/p>\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of a rotator cuff tear in the shoulder:<\/h2>\n\n<p>\u2022 Difficulty raising the arm<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Pain when moving the arm up or lying on it<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 A weakness in the shoulder<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Inability to lift objects as usual<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 A crackling or popping is heard when the arm is moved<\/p>\n\n<p>You should see a doctor when these signs and symptoms occur. Otherwise, it could get worse over time.

The risk of this increase with: <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Business: such as construction workers. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Decreased blood supply: With age, blood circulation in the rotator cuff area decreases, making it difficult for small tears to self-repair, leading to the expansion of the torn patch.    <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Beaks and Bone Calcifications: Overgrowth of bone in the shoulder can erode the rotator cuff tissue, causing a tear. <\/p>\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"423\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/RCT6.jpg\" alt=\"&#x627;&#x644;&#x643;&#x62A;&#x641; 6\" class=\"wp-image-3853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/RCT6.jpg 423w, https:\/\/asayedissa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/RCT6-300x284.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Age: Rotator cuff tears are more common in people over 60 years of age. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Family history.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Athletics.<\/p>\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diagnosis of the injured shoulder:<\/h2>\n\n<p>During a physical exam, he tests the shoulder&#8217;s range of motion and muscle strength.
