   Adults over the age of 60 are more susceptible to a rotator cuff tear, with the overall frequency of tears increasing with age. [92] By the age of 50 10% of people with normal shoulders have a rotator cuff tear. [93] In an autopsy study of rotator cuff tears, the incidence of partial tears was 28%, and of complete rupture 30%.

   The rotator cuff can cause pain in many different ways including tendonitis, bursitis, calcific tendonitis, partial thickness tears, full thickness tears or mechanical impingement. [5] Tendinitis, bursitis, and impingement syndrome can be treated with tendon repair and the Mumford procedure or acromioplasty. [citation needed]

   An early expanded indication was primary osteoarthritis with loss of rotator cuff function. Massive irreparable rotator cuff tear without osteoarthritis has also been an accepted indication for a number of years, given numerous studies have reported good functional outcomes. Over the last 10 years the indications for RTSA have seen a huge ...

7. Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder - Wikipedia

   If conservative measures are unsuccessful, surgery can be trialed. Surgery to cut the adhesions (capsular release) may be indicated in prolonged and severe cases; the procedure is usually performed by arthroscopy. Surgical evaluation of other problems with the shoulder, e.g., subacromial bursitis or rotator cuff tear, may be needed.
