Rotator Cuff Repair in Malaysia

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that keep your shoulder joint stable and allow smooth movement. A torn rotator cuff is one of the most common shoulder injuries, leading to pain, weakness, and limited mobility.

At Orthopedic Specialist Malaysia, we provide both non-surgical and surgical treatments for rotator cuff tears, including advanced arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to restore shoulder strength and function.
