In actuality, very few patients have a true Rotator Cuff Tear. There are several etiologies to shoulder pain besides a torn rotator cuff; Adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder), Subacromial Bursitis, Tendinitis, Glenohumeral Instability, Chondrocalcinosis, Osteoarthritis, Gout, Lyme arthritis, and Ganglion Cysts are but a few possible causes of shoulder pain.
