Our shoulder is one of the most important organs in our body. It connects the body to the hand and is used by us for many actions in the daily routine. What do you do when you have a shoulder injury and how do you treat a tear in the tendons in the shoulder? Dr. Oren Tzviali, a surgeon and shoulder and elbow specialist explains the subject in the studio and voila!
What is the role of the tendons in the shoulder?
"Their role is to center and strengthen the movement of the shoulder, which has the largest range of motion in the body. Each tendon is pulled by a muscle and attaches to the bone of the shoulder. A tendon tear is caused by improper movement or an injury to the shoulder. The tear can be caused by rubbing the shoulder for a long time that we don't notice."
What is the frequency of shoulder tears?
"This is a very common phenomenon, even in young, healthy and athletic people. There may be a partial tear or abrasion that you don't even notice. This injury can happen to anyone, even bodybuilders who train incorrectly."

How is a tendon tear diagnosed?
"Before the tear is diagnosed, an examination by a physical therapist or orthopedist is necessary. If the problem is treated even before the tear is diagnosed, that's also fine. The tear itself needs to be diagnosed using ultrasound or MRI."
How do you treat a tendon rupture?
"It is important to understand how big the tear is, because then it can also cause weakness, certainly in older people who sit all day. We treat these cases differently compared to a young person who has a small tear. We actually adapt the treatment to the patient. The first action that needs to be done is to the muscles, so that they were centered and coordinated."
What about surgeries?
"For those who have not succeeded in the so-called conservative treatment, and are still in pain after physical therapy, we can offer surgeries that can repair the tear in the tendon."
