Popis:	In general the prognosis of rotator cuff repair is good or excellent. We report a case of rotator cuff tear which underwent multiple operations. A 62-year-old male with rotator cuff tear was admitted to our hospital because of severe pain and limitation of range of motion of the right shoulder. After one month of conservative therapy failed, we parformed cuff repair operation with anterior acromioplasty. After surgery, he suffered severe pain. Postoperative examination showed no re-tear of the rotator cuff. For a period of six months beginning one year after the first surgery, he suffered RSD (reflex sympathetic dystrophy), for which we performed three surgeries.The second surgery was partial resection of the superior labrum, the third was arthroscopic decompression of acromion, and the forth was arthroscopic resection of the biceps long tendon. Despite these operations, his pain still remains.
