Updated June 2026 · (Referral to Treatment — the NHS wait-time framework)
This is how long 8 in 10 patients wait for the whole Trauma & Orthopaedics specialty at this trust, from GP referral to the start of treatment — the NHS does not publish a wait for rotator cuff surgery on its own.
Before treatment: the scan wait too
An ultrasound scan is a separate NHS queue from the treatment wait above, and it comes first. At County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust the typical ultrasound wait is 3 weeks, with 22% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
