Medical term: Rotator cuff tendon repair
Already chosen your shoulder surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed rotator cuff repair? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is rotator cuff repair?
Rotator cuff repair reattaches a torn shoulder tendon to the upper-arm bone when repair is appropriate. The tear's size, tendon quality, symptoms and previous treatment help shape the recommendation.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- Is my tear repairable, and which findings influence that assessment?
- Would further physiotherapy be reasonable, or could delay affect repairability?
- Will any additional shoulder procedure be needed during the repair?
- What restrictions and rehabilitation would apply to work, driving and lifting?

Records to organise
We organise the mri or ultrasound report and available images alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the shoulder surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- MRI or ultrasound report and available images
- Shoulder X-rays and the examination findings
- Physiotherapy, injection and previous-operation records
- Details of the injury, weakness and current work or activity demands
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
When you cannot attend yourself
How Redwood takes your case to your doctor
- Tell us whom you have chosen. Share the doctor’s name, hospital or clinic, and the decision you want reviewed.

A video call during the consultation can be arranged if the doctor allows.
We respond within 12 hours of your enquiry.
