Begin Your Medical Treatment Journey with HOSPISITY
HOSPISITY connects you with India's top orthopedics surgeons and internationally accredited hospitals at transparent and affordable costs.
The rotator cuff is a combination of muscles and tendons that stabilises the shoulder joint and enables arm movement. A rotator cuff tear occurs when one or more of these tendons are damaged or detached from the bone. can result in chronic pain, weakness, and restricted movement, particularly when lifting the arm or sleeping on the affected side.
Rotator cuff tears can be caused by age-related wear and tear, repetitive shoulder activity, or unexpected trauma. While mild cases may respond to conservative therapy, surgical repair is frequently required to restore full function, especially for complete tears.
India is a preferred destination for high-quality, cost-effective rotator cuff surgery, which combines internationally trained orthopaedic doctors, cutting-edge procedures like arthroscopic repair, and complete rehabilitation services.
There are different types of Rotator Cuff Tear Treatment based on the patient’s Rotator Cuff condition and treatment goal:
Persistent shoulder pain, especially at night
Weakness or difficulty raising your arm
Clicking or popping sounds with movement
Loss of shoulder function
Failed conservative therapy after 6+ months
Full-thickness or traumatic tendon tears
Partial Tear: The tendon is damaged but not completely detached
Complete Tear: The tendon is fully torn and separated from the bone
Age-related degeneration (common >50 years)
Repetitive overhead activity (e.g., athletes, painters, carpenters)
Acute trauma (falls, dislocations)
Bone spurs impinging on tendons
Poor blood supply with aging
Arm sling and rest
Physical therapy
NSAIDs (pain relief)
Steroid injections
Ice application
🔸 8 out of 10 patients may recover without surgery in mild cases.
We believe that great care starts with trust. That’s why we ensure complete transparency in our treatment pricing—no surprises, no hidden fees, just honest and clear costs for the care you deserve.
Types of Rotator Cuff Tear Surgery Treatment | Treatment Cost In USD |
Open Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery Open rotator cuff repair involves a larger incision to directly visualize and reattach the torn tendon to the humeral head. While it provides robust access for complex tears, it requires more tissue disruption, leading to longer recovery times compared to arthroscopic techniques. This method remains valuable for massive or revision cases. | $4700–$5400 |
Mini-Open Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery Mini-open rotator cuff repair blends arthroscopic evaluation with a small incision for direct tendon reattachment, offering the precision of open surgery while minimizing soft tissue damage. This approach reduces recovery time compared to traditional open repair but maintains strength for moderate to large tears, balancing invasiveness and effectiveness. | $4900-$5700 |
Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a minimally invasive procedure where a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments are inserted through tiny incisions to visualize and reattach the torn tendon. This technique reduces tissue damage, lowers infection risk, and speeds up recovery compared to open or mini-open approaches, making it ideal for most tears. | $5100–$5800 |
Tendon transfer rotator cuff surgery Tendon transfer rotator cuff surgery involves relocating a healthy adjacent tendon often the latissimus dorsi or pectoralis major to reconstruct irreparable rotator cuff tears. This technique restores shoulder stability and function by compensating for lost mobility, offering a solution for severe cases where traditional repair isn’t feasible. Recovery focuses on gradual rehabilitation to adapt the transferred tendon. | $5300-$6300 |
Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) is a surgical solution for irreparable rotator cuff tears, where a graft typically from fascia lata or a dermal allograft is secured between the humeral head and glenoid to restore joint stability. This technique recenters the ball and socket joint, reducing pain and improving function by preventing superior humeral migration | $5100–$6000 |
