Zusammenfassung

Läsionen der Rotatorenmanschette sind eine häufige Pathologie. Dieser Übersichtsartikel fasst die zentralen Aspekte in der Diagnostik zusammen. Es werden die wichtigsten Funktionstests und die aktuell gängigen Klassifikationen erläutert. Anschließend gibt der Artikel einen Überblick über Therapieoptionen und die Nachbehandlungsstrategien nach operativer Versorgung einer Rotatorenmanschettenruptur.

Abstract

Rotator cuff lesions are a common pathology. This review summarizes the key aspects in diagnostics. The most important functional tests and currently used classifications are explained. The article then provides an overview of treatment options and postoperative strategies after surgical repair of a rotator cuff tear.
