Learning About Rotator Cuff Tear | Health Insiders
Dr. Derek Papp, Sports Medicine Physician at Miami Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute, says typically a tear that you get as a throwing athlete or a baseball player or tennis athlete is under surface of the rotator cuff.
"What happens is every time your arm goes back to throw, it kind of pinches. So, the shoulder kind of pinches against the labrum in the back," he explains.
