are rotator cuff injuries permanent? When you say rotator cuff injuries permanent, if you have a tear in the rotator cuff that will be permanent unless it's treated or repaired. An injury which is just a simple sprain or bruising of the rotator cuff, say following a fall, that is often self-limiting and through appropriate rehabilitation, most people will recover from that. But if the injury is led to a tear, for instance, then that usually does not repair. And if there's a significant deficit as a result of the tear, that usually requires a surgical procedure to repair it.
