Rotator Cuff Injuries Market Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
The rotator cuff is a set of muscles and tendons that surrounds the shoulder joint and retains the upper arm bone's head securely within the shoulder's shallow socket. A rotator cuff injury can result in a dull aching in the shoulder that typically gets worse when the arm is used away from the body. The rotator cuff is a commonly injured area. The most common injuries are strains, tears, and tendinitis.
The etiology of rotator cuff disease is complex and multifactorial, including age-related degeneration, micro trauma, and macro trauma. Smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and genetics have all been shown to influence the development of rotator cuff tearing. Age is the most common factor of them all for rotator cuff disease due to progressive degeneration or wear and tear of the tendon tissue. Repetitive overhead activity or heavy lifting over a prolonged period of time may irritate or damage the tendon.
The symptoms associated with a rotator cuff injury include, a dull ache deep in the shoulder, disturbed sleep, difficulty to reach the back and arm weakness. Pain with overhead activity, localizing to the deltoid region, and loss of active range of motion of the shoulder are among the most common presenting symptoms.
Rotator Cuff Injuries Diagnosis
During physical examination, doctor presses on different parts of the shoulder and move the arm into different positions. X-rays, Ultrasound and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are various imaging tests recommended to confirm diagnosis.
Rotator Cuff Injuries Treatment
Physical therapy to surgical repair employing a variety of procedures are among the treatment options available, depending on the severity of the condition and the patient's symptoms. To heal from a rotator cuff injury, conservative therapies such as rest, ice, and physical therapy are required. If conservative therapy fail, the doctor may provide a steroid injection. Physical therapy is usually one of the first treatments suggested and is also an important part of the recovery process after rotator cuff surgery. Surgeries for rotator cuff injuries if the injury is severe include Arthroscopic tendon repair, Open tendon repair, Tendon transfer and Shoulder replacement.

Key Findings
- According to a study by Varacallo et al.(2022) , on a global basis, millions of individuals are affected with rotator cuff syndrome (RCS) and its related diseases. RCS affects patients at varying levels of intensity depending on their age, ranging from 5% to 10% of patients under the age of 20 to over 60% of individuals over the age of 80. Age-related RC changes include collagen fiber disorientation and myxoid degeneration. Also there is a correlation between smoking and RC degeneration, symptomatic cuff tears, and even the increase in the size of the cuff tear when present.
- In a prospective German population study by Tempelhof et al., (1999) on 411 volunteers, there was 23% overall prevalence of RC tears with 31% in those of age 70 and 51% in those aged 80. Therefore a high rate of rotator cuff tears in patients with asymptomatic shoulders was thus observed with increasing patient age.
- A study by Yamaguchi et al., (2006) showed that the prevalence of rotator cuff tear increases with age. According to the study the group of patients without rupture had a mean age of 48 years, those with unilateral lesions had 58 years and the ones with bilateral tears had a mean of 67 years.
- The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted Rotator Cuff Injuries epidemiology [segmented as Total Prevalent cases of Rotator Cuff Injury, Age-specific Prevalence of Rotator Cuff Injury, Etiology-specific Prevalence of Rotator Cuff Injury, and Diagnosed and Treatable cases of Rotator Cuff Injury] in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2019 to 2032.

Rotator Cuff Injuries Emerging Drugs
Ortho-R/PRP, being developed by Ortho Regenerative Technologies, is a freeze-dried chitosan-platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hybrid. It is a drug/biologic combination product containing a chitosan component and trehalose. It is also a disaccharide that acts as a lyoprotectant during the lyophilization process and calcium chloride, which acts as a PRP coagulation agent. This formulation augments the healing rate of occupational and sports related injuries. The physicochemical configuration of this proprietary biopolymer matrix acts as a biodegradable mucoadhesive scaffold that chemically interacts with the PRP biologic components thereby increasing the residency time of the PRP bioactive material delivered at the surgically repaired site, leading to prolonged release of growth factors from PRP, enhancing the therapeutic effect. The drug is currently being evaluated for its safety in Phase I/II trials.
Angiocrine Bioscience is developing E-CEL UVEC (AB-207), an investigational product consists of endothelial cells derived from the walls of the blood vessels of human umbilical cords that have been genetically modified to maintain their stability and their regenerative properties. In its preclinical studies the cell therapy showed accelerated healing and an increase in the strength of the tendon attachment at the repair site. The US FDA has granted Investigational New Drug (IND) status to the cell therapy which is currently being evaluated in Phase Ib/II.
REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant (Smith & Nephew): The REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant, comprises of type 1 collagen, is an advanced healing solution for biological enhancement and tendon regeneration across all rotator cuff tear types. It stimulates a natural healing response to induce new tendon-like tissue growth and disrupt rotator cuff disease progression across the tear spectrum.

Rotator Cuff Injuries Market Outlook
The treatment depends on the age of the patient, their functional demands, and the acuteness or chronicity of the tear. For complete tears in patients under 40, surgical treatment is the generally recommended treatment followed by appropriate rehabilitation. These are usually traumatic injuries and respond well to surgery.
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons developed recommendations determining high-level evidence of surgical treatment for full-thickness tears was weak.
First, non-surgical management is always appropriate, providing they are responding with improved function and decreased pain. Second, repairs can be appropriate even if the patient responds to non-surgical care. Third, for those healthy patients who remain symptomatic, then repair is the appropriate treatment. Fourth, for cases of chronic, massive tears, debridement/partial repair and/or reconstruction may be indicated. Finally, for those with painful pseudo paralysis with an irreparable tear, arthroplasty may be appropriate.
Pain control and inflammation reduction are initially required to allow progression of healing and initiation of an active rehabilitation program in patients with a rotator cuff injury. Conservative treatments such as rest, ice, acetaminophen and physical therapy are needed to recover from a rotator cuff injury. If injury is severe, surgery becomes needful. If conservative treatments fail to reduce pain, steroid based injection into shoulder joint is recommended. While such shots are often temporarily helpful, they should be used judiciously, as they can contribute to weakening of the tendon and may lower the success of surgery if this is eventually needed.
Therapy: Physical therapy is usually one of the first treatments that doctors suggest. Exercises tailored to the specific location of rotator cuff injury helps to restore flexibility and give strength to the shoulder. Physical therapy is also an important part of the recovery process after rotator cuff surgery.
Arthroscopic tendon repair: In this procedure, surgeons insert a tiny camera (arthroscope) and tools through small incisions to reattach the torn tendon to the bone.
Open tendon repair: In some situations, an open tendon repair may be a better option. In these types of surgeries, surgeon works through a larger incision to reattach the damaged tendon to the bone.
Tendon transfer: If the torn tendon is too damaged to be reattached to the arm bone, surgeons may decide to use a nearby tendon as a replacement.
Shoulder replacement: Massive rotator cuff injuries may require shoulder replacement surgery. To improve the artificial joint's stability, an innovative procedure (reverse shoulder arthroplasty) installs the ball part of the artificial joint onto the shoulder blade and the socket part onto the arm bone.
Over-the-counter pain relievers: The pain from a minor rotator cuff injury often diminishes on its own, with proper care. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) also may be helpful.
According to DelveInsight, the Rotator Cuff Injuries market in 7MM is expected to witness a major change in the study period 2019-2032.
