Clinical Intake — Complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of right shoulder

A 47-year-old male electrician presents with a 6-month history of progressive right glenohumeral pain and functional limitation following repetitive overhead occupational activity beginning in October 2025. Initial self-management with over-the-counter analgesics and subsequent prescription anti-inflammatory therapy has provided only partial relief, with persistent inability to perform overhead tasks and significant sleep disruption. Formal outpatient physiotherapy consisting of three documented sessions was completed without satisfactory functional improvement. Advanced diagnostic imaging obtained in February 2026 demonstrated a partial-thickness supraspinatus tendon tear; the treating orthopedic surgeon recommends further evaluation to guide definitive management.
