Rotator cuff repair reattaches torn tendon to the humeral head using suture anchors, most often through an arthroscopic approach. The procedure relieves pain, restores overhead strength, and prevents further tear progression. Success rates reach 85-95% for small-to-medium tears when combined with dedicated rehabilitation.
Labrum repair surgery reattaches the torn fibrocartilage rim of the shoulder socket using arthroscopic suture anchors. The procedure stabilizes the joint, eliminates catching and clicking, and allows return to overhead sports. Bankart repair addresses anterior instability, while posterior and combined repairs target multi-directional damage.

Dr. Gulotta repaired my rotator cuff after a complete tear. His expertise was evident from the first consultation. Six months later I have full range of motion and zero pain. The HSS team was outstanding throughout.
Had a reverse shoulder replacement with Dr. Gulotta. He took the time to explain every option and why reverse was best for my situation. Surgery went perfectly and recovery has been smooth. Highly recommend.
After seeing three other surgeons for my torn labrum, Dr. Gulotta was the only one who correctly diagnosed the full extent of the damage. His arthroscopic repair was exceptional and I am back to playing tennis.
Great surgeon with excellent results on my shoulder replacement. Only downside was the wait times for follow-up appointments, but the quality of care made up for it.
Dr. Gulotta performed a complex revision rotator cuff repair after a failed surgery elsewhere. His skill level is remarkable. I went from barely being able to lift my arm to full function in eight months.
