Private Rotator Cuff Repair in Sutton Coldfield
Surgical repair of partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tears causing shoulder pain, weakness and restricted movement. Published price.
What is rotator cuff repair?
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and their tendons that stabilise the shoulder joint and allow a full range of arm movement. Rotator cuff tears — ranging from partial to full-thickness — are a common cause of shoulder pain, particularly in adults over 40, athletes and manual workers.
Rotator cuff repair is performed arthroscopically (keyhole surgery) in most cases, reattaching the torn tendon to the humerus using small metal anchors. The procedure takes 60–90 minutes under general anaesthesia. Not all rotator cuff tears require surgery — your consultant will advise whether repair is appropriate based on the size of the tear, your symptoms, and your activity demands.

What happens at The Vesey
From your first consultation to discharge — here is what to expect at every stage.
Consultant assessment
Clinical examination and MRI review to characterise the tear and determine whether surgical repair will offer a better outcome than continued conservative management.
Pre-operative assessment
Routine pre-operative health check. Your anaesthetist will also review you before surgery.
Arthroscopic repair
Small incisions are made around the shoulder. The surgeon inspects the joint, prepares the bone surface and reattaches the tendon using suture anchors under arthroscopic guidance.
Rehabilitation
The shoulder is immobilised in a sling for 4–6 weeks to protect the repair, followed by structured physiotherapy for 4–6 months. Book physiotherapy at The Vesey →
Recovery — what to expect
Sling required for 4–6 weeks. Gentle movement begins at 6 weeks under physiotherapy guidance. Most daily activities resume at 3–4 months. Full return to sport or heavy lifting typically takes 6–9 months.
Your consultant will provide you with a personalised recovery plan at your assessment appointment, based on your individual procedure, health status, and activity requirements.
