title: Rotator cuff disease. An arthroscopic view.
abstract: Rotator cuff disease has become a treatable entity by using the arthroscope; however, a sound understanding of pathology and an appreciation of relevant physical findings are necessary if the arthroscope is to be used effectively. Arthroscopic examination confirms the extent of rotator cuff disease and co-morbid pathology and allows for treatment of many problems related to the rotator cuff.
