“…An exception would Downloaded by [New York University] at 20:20 04 August 2015 be when acute rotator cuff tear is suspected because outcomes may be better with acute repair. 18 Although evidence is limited, the authors believe that emphasizing core strength in this group of athletes is imperative, as core muscle weakness is almost universally encountered in injured golfers. 19 Medication management consists of analgesic medications and judicious use of corticosteroid injection.…”

“…This may delay treatment and influence the prognosis after surgical repair. 1,4 The diagnosis is further complicated because small lesions tend to be more painful than full-thickness tears (FTTs) and pain seems to be related more to the degree of bursitis than to the degree of tearing. 9 Several retrospective studies have tried to evaluate the etiology of rotator cuff injuries and have found that 40% to 72% of patients report trauma in the history before their shoulder problems occurred.…”

“…Although a majority of patients have chronic pain as a presenting feature, a small percentage of patients without a previous history of shoulder pain have an acute, traumatic cause for their RCT. 8 Acute tears are considered an indication for early surgical intervention because a delay in repair may result in attritional changes in the cuff tendon, muscle, or both. These chronic changes may make the repair more difficult technically and the functional outcome less satisfactory.…”

“…These chronic changes may make the repair more difficult technically and the functional outcome less satisfactory. 3,[7][8][9][10] Early repair generally affords the best opportunity for return of shoulder function and strength in addition to pain relief. 2,[11][12][13][14] Although patient history, physical examination, and plain radiographs can provide information about the chronicity of a cuff tear, the diagnosis may not always be clear, and imaging tests, such as ultrasound may be important in providing additional information.…”
