🎥 Day in the Life of a Shoulder Surgeon

What really happens during rotator cuff surgery?

Go inside the operating room with doctor Dr. Mike Shindle board certified orthopedic sports medicine specialist at Total Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, as he performs an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to help a patient get back to living pain free.

From reviewing MRI imaging
To minimally invasive shoulder surgery
To repairing torn rotator cuff tendons
To guiding recovery and rehab

This is how we restore strength, stability, and motion.

Rotator cuff tears are one of the most common causes of shoulder pain in adults, especially athletes and active individuals over 40. Early diagnosis and the right treatment plan can make all the difference in recovery time and long term results.

If you are dealing with shoulder pain, weakness, or trouble lifting your arm, do not ignore it.

Follow for expert orthopedic insights.

🚨 What happens if you don’t fix your rotator cuff 🚨

Most people think shoulder pain will just go away.
But ignoring a torn rotator cuff can lead to something much worse.

According to Dr. Charles Ruotolo, Founder of Total Orthopedics and Sports Medicine and Chief of Orthopedic Surgery, untreated rotator cuff tears do not simply stay the same. They often get larger, weaker, and harder to repair.

Here is what can happen if you wait too long:

❌ Increasing pain, especially at night
❌ Progressive weakness when lifting or reaching
❌ Loss of motion
❌ Muscle atrophy, where the muscle actually shrinks
❌ Irreversible damage that may require a shoulder replacement instead of a simpler repair

The earlier a tear is evaluated, the more treatment options you have and the better the outcome.

If you are struggling with shoulder pain, do not ignore it. A small problem today can become a major surgery tomorrow.
