Hi lybrate-user, Rotator cuff injury is very common in diabetic. It's basically of two types 1. Acute Significant trauma resulting in mere strain to complete tear. 2.chronic degenerative tear due to disease. Outcome depends on presence/absence of active movements. If strain / partial tear then conservative treatment may help. In complete tear, conservative treatment usually helps in pain control but restoration of movement is usually impossible. In that situation Surgery to repair (with intact musculotendinous bulk) it or very rarely reverse shoulder arthroplasty (when repair is not worthy) is the only answer to get a functional mobile shoulder obviously with glycemic control. Regards.
