Rotator cuff tear arthropathy & subscapularis tears with Jo Gibson

Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA) is a pattern of glenohumeral joint degenerative changes following rotator cuff tears, causing shoulder pain and stiffness. Subscapularis tears can also be involved in RCTA, or a significant cause of shoulder pain and disability.
How can you identify RCTA and subscap tears in your shoulder pain patients? How can they be treated, and do these patients respond well to non-surgical management?
Find out in this video with Jo Gibson (Upper Limb Rehabilitation Specialist Physio).

Recovering from subscapularis tear surgery and labral tear. Along with ac joint reconstruction using hamstring allograft. Currently having issues lifting arm, especially when laying down. I'm getting dyskinetic snapping of the acromion to the clavicle. This happens while trying to lift my arm, especially while lying on back or sides. It happens actively and passively. It is very confusing

Full-Thickness partial width tear of the supraspinatus tendon and low-grade partial-thickness tearing of the infraspinatus tendon. High-Grade partial thickness tear of the upper fibers of the subscapularis tendon with medially subluxed and partially torn long head of the bicep tendon. Teres minor tendon is unremarkable. That is what I was told today. :( Sounds like surgery is unavoidable.
