This is a minimally invasive surgery performed through small incisions in the shoulder using a camera and specialized instruments, used to repair a torn rotator cuff tendon. The surgeon reattaches the torn tendon to the bone, typically using anchors, without making a large open incision. It's a common treatment for rotator cuff tears that haven't healed with rest, therapy, or medication.
