Webinar by Dr. Eoin O Conaire: An Evidence-Based Approach to Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears – Assessment, Diagnosis, and Management


Patients diagnosed with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears represent a unique and challenging group. These individuals often experience persistent shoulder pain, limited range of motion, and difficulty raising their arm above shoulder height. Such impairments have a profound impact on their daily activities, work performance, and overall quality of life. Interestingly, while some patients respond remarkably well to targeted physiotherapy programs, regaining functional movement and achieving significant pain relief, others experience little to no improvement and may ultimately require surgical intervention, such as arthroplasty. Understanding the factors influencing these differing outcomes is crucial for effective clinical management and treatment planning.

This webinar provides an in-depth exploration of Dr. Eoin O Conaire’s PhD journey, where he systematically reviewed the literature and conducted research to address the key clinical challenges in managing these cases. It offers actionable insights and practical recommendations designed to guide clinicians in their practice. Attendees will gain evidence-based knowledge to optimize care for patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.


The presentation covers a range of critical topics, including:

  • Understanding Massive Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears: Anatomy, pathophysiology, and biomechanics.
  • Radiological Features and Patient Characteristics: Identifying key diagnostic markers.
  • Treatment Options: A comparison of surgical and non-surgical approaches, including their benefits, risks, and indications.
  • Challenges in Clinical Decision-Making: Navigating complex cases and individualised treatment planning.
  • Physiotherapy Programs: Detailed discussions on program content, evidence supporting efficacy, and real-world outcomes.
  • Prognostic Factors for Success with Physiotherapy: Insights from an international Delphi study.
  • Targeted Physiotherapy Assessments and Interventions: Practical demonstrations to enhance clinical skills.


This webinar is an invaluable resource for physiotherapists, orthopaedic specialists, and healthcare professionals looking to refine their approach to treating massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. It bridges the gap between research and practice, providing clinicians with the tools to deliver personalized and effective care. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to engage in a live Q&A session, enabling discussion of specific cases and challenges.


For those invested in advancing their expertise in physiotherapy and orthopaedic rehabilitation, this session is a must-attend. Don’t miss the chance to enhance your clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.
