Volume matters — surgeons who perform 100+ of a given procedure annually typically have better outcomes. Ask about their complication rates, implant choices, and whether they use minimally invasive techniques. All providers on AdvOrtho are verified against the national NPI registry.
Can a rotator cuff tear heal without surgery in Fayetteville?
Partial tears often heal with physical therapy, cortisone injections, and activity modification — especially in patients over 60 who are lower-demand. Complete tears in younger, active patients usually need surgical repair to restore strength. The longer a complete tear goes untreated, the more the muscle retracts and atrophies, making repair harder. A shoulder specialist can tell you whether your tear pattern is repairable.
