Rotator Cuff tears are often times caused by the onset of age, while genetics may also play a role. Dr Kruse discusses the question many of his patients ask and why does a rotator cuff really tear.
Acute rotator cuff tears indicate that there's an injury. Someone who was lifting some very heavy weights or they had a fall or some sort of trauma to their shoulder which tore the rotator cuff.
