Q:

What is cuff tear arthropathy?

A:

Cuff tear arthropathy is the term for a particular type of arthritis in the shoulder joint. Due to the weakening, wear or injury to the tendons of the rotator cuff, the shoulder joint moves in a certain way that allows this type of arthritis to develop over time. If you have shoulder pain and you think it could be arthritis, you should visit your doctor for an assessment.
