Los Angeles Rotator Cuff Surgery

Located in the heart of Los Angeles, Dr. Thomas Vangsness is a leading orthopaedic surgeon for Los Angeles rotator cuff surgery. With the stress and strain of everyday life, physical injury is becoming more common among adults. Rotator cuff tears are a very common cause of shoulder pain, usually occurring in patients over 50. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles, originating from the shoulder blade and inserting with a common tendon on the upper arm. This combination of muscles is responsible for movements such as rotation and lifting of the shoulder as well as providing stability of the shoulder joint. Tears in the rotator cuff may be due to a sudden trauma, repetitive overhead work or athletes who do overhead activities (pitchers and tennis players).
