Rotator cuff surgery waiting time at Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust

The NHS publishes one waiting figure for all trauma and orthopaedics treatment at each trust, and at Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust that figure is pulled down by much quicker trauma and orthopaedics procedures, so it would understate the wait for rotator cuff surgery treatment.

About rotator cuff problems
The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles and tendons that wrap around the shoulder joint. They hold the top of your arm bone in its socket and let you lift and turn your arm.
