In 1994 David Chalmers published a paper explaining why consciousness is such a challenging phenomenon to understand. Although he wasnât the first to discuss these challenges, he was the first to categorize them into two types of problems: âeasyâ problems and the âhardâ problem.
Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (or shoulder arthritis with a large rotator cuff tear) is a severe and complex form of shoulder arthritis in which the shoulder has lost not only the cartilage that normally covers its joint surface but also the tendons of the rotator cuff tear which help position and power the joint.enetics. Rotator cuff tear arthropathy (or shoulder arthritis with a large rotator cuff tear) is not known to be inherited although rotator cuff tears appear to be more common in individuals from families in which other members also have cuff tears.
These four tendons attach to four muscles that help keep the shoulder stabilized in the socket (or glenoid) and help rotate the upper arm inward and outward. If the rotator cuff is torn and is not repaired, a type of wear and tear arthritis of the shoulder can develop over time. This condition is sometimes called arthropathy and the term cuff tear arthropathy is used to describe this type of arthritis of the shoulder that develops when the rotator cuff is damaged.
