The rotator cuff can cause pain in many different ways including tendonitis, bursitis, calcific tendonitis, partial thickness tears, full thickness tears or mechanical impingement. Tendinitis, bursitis, and impingement syndrome can be treated with tendon repair and the Mumford procedure or acromioplasty. A rotator cuff tear can be treated with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. A shoulder fracture can be treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). Arthritis of the shoulder can be treated with total shoulder replacement, hemiarthroplasty (half a replacement), or a reverse shoulder implant (for arthritis with large rotator cuff tear). Arthritis or osteolysis of the acromioclavicular joint can be treated with the Mumford procedure (open or arthroscopic)m.
