Why Do Patients Develop Rotator Cuff Tears?

Dear Members of the Codman Shoulder Society,

Do you really know why your patients develop rotator cuff tears? Consider Gerber’s work on the impact of Critical Shoulder Angle on the genesis of RCT (click here).

Please let me know what your thoughts and experiences have been.
