Type Of Rotator Cuff Tears Explained

There are 2 main types of rotator cuff tears - acute and degenerative. Acute means you suddenly tore your rotator cuff in an accident. Degenerative is when there was no accident and it happened over time. Then there are partial-thickness tears and full-thickness rotator cuff tears.
ALL OF THESE CAN HEAL NATURALLY!

So good to hear that that it will naturally heal for me i think is a partial tear.

[mattdawg]

I have a near full thickness tear, and it’s not healing seven months after injury. I’ve had a steroid shot, which did nothing, and 6 weeks of physical therapy. I’m having g surgery next month to fix it.

How can a tear heal itself naturally, it's impossible.

[JimmyjimmyJimmyjimmy-ihyd]

Full thickness tear means a tear of full height or depth of the tendon. A complete rupture, which is different again, resembles you second diagram.

So it will heal over time then that's good to hear because it's still painful after nine months

[mist]

can this also be caused by the antibiotc cipro

[luigiprovencher]

Why am I having one doctor tell me that it's a partial year and then another doctor tell me it's a full tear? It's only been a week apart.

[ZacharyEnchanted]

I have a partial tear had it for 2 years and it seems to be getting worse not better does that mean it could be turning into a full tear if it’s still hurting and getting worse

[SomeRoofKorean]

Ive been stressing out for months now and still am. My partial tear was supposed to heal in only a couple of weeks or months. But it still hasnt after a year. What should i do?

[Offgridinmaine]

I have a full thickness, tear confirmed by an MRI, how can this heal on its own if it’s not even attached to the tendon anymore? Basically just floating there….

[ozzydo]

What is thinning of the superspinatus ?
