What Are the Causes of Rotator Cuff Injuries?
Rotator cuff injuries can be sorted into two groups: Repetitive-use injuries, which occur over time, and traumatic injuries, which occur after a traumatic event. The rotator cuff is an intertwined group of muscles that wrap around the shoulder. The four muscles cover the top, front and back of the shoulder. The muscles are connected to the arm bone by tendons, which are located at the ends of the muscles. It is these tendons that are most commonly injured in a rotator cuff injury.
