Rotator cuff tears that are full thickness can become too old to repair after about four months. This is due to curling and shrinking of the muscle. If the muscle shrinks too much or curls too much it can not be surgically reattached.

What will happen if you don't get rotator cuff in shoulder treated?
The torn muscles of the rotator cuff will not naturally repair themselves, so they will not actually be healed. Generally speaking, there are two results that can occur after a torn rotator cuff. Either it will stabilize, which will cause the symptoms to disappear, or it will get worse. The best hope is that the pain and immobility will get better with time. The two primary objectives of both therapy and surgery are alleviating pain and increasing mobility. Symptoms of a rotator cuff tear can be classified into two categories: minimal and grave. Minimal symptoms are characterized by a level of pain that is tolerable and by the return of function with time. These symptoms are certainly annoying but they will eventually go away and they won't hinder you for life. To deal with these minimal symptoms, surgery is not required. These tears are likely to be very small and if you rest, take appropriate medication, and undergo proper physical therapy, they will not cause long-term problems. With time and care, you will be back to your old self.

How long is recovery from distal clavical resection?
I had an AC decompression (distal clavicle resection) on 12/12/08. It is now 3/3/09 and I am about 80% better. My pain before the surgery was quite bad and I had been favoring the arm for a long time so my recovery may be longer than some people. Also, I am 47 years old, so younger people might recover better. I have been doing physical therapy twice a week since the surgery. I now have full range of motion and feel fine most of the time. I still have some minor pain when trying to use my arm over my head.
Why is The Undertaker inactive?
There were two significant periods of inactivity for The Undertaker -- one was because he had surgery for a torn rotator cuff. Despite his resurgence in 2015, Mark Calaway was nearly 50 years old, so his conditioning and durability has become an issue. His lookalike cousin, Brian Lee Harris (an impostor Undertaker), is only two years younger.
