Erkrankungen und Verletzungen der Rotatorenmanschetten

Zusammenfassung

Mit zunehmendem Alter und steigendem Aktivitätsgrad älterer Mitbürger nimmt die Bedeutung der Erkrankungen und Verletzungen der Rotatorenmanschette stetig zu. Zum einen tolerieren die betroffenen Menschen immer seltener Einschränkungen in ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit, zum anderen steigt die Nachfrage nach konservativen und operativen Maßnahmen dieses Patientenkollektivs. Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, Ursachen, klinische Präsentation und Diagnostik zu erörtern. Ferner sollen die konservativen Maßnahmen, wie auch die Indikationen zu verschiedenen OP-Techniken diskutiert und dargestellt werden.

Pathology and Lesions of the Rotator Cuff

With increasing age and the higher functional demands of the elderly patient the importance of rotator cuff lesions and their treatment also rises. On the one hand, patients are markedly less willing to tolerate functional impairment and so that, on the other hand, the demand for optimal treatment, no matter if conservative or surgical, grows as well. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the relevant causes, clinical presentation and diagnostic measures. Furthermore, conservative treatment modalities and surgical procedures as well as their respective indications are discussed.
