Can a partial injury to the supraspinatus tendon heal itself?

  The ability of the supraspinatus tendon to heal on its own after an injury is usually determined by the extent of the damage to the supraspinatus tendon.  If the supraspinatus tendon is completely ruptured, or even mostly ruptured, in this case, it usually cannot heal on its own and requires aggressive surgical treatment. During surgery, the ruptured tendon can be anastomosed to effectively promote the recovery of tendon function and avoid sequelae, and the affected limb should be suspended or fixed in abduction after surgery. If the injury to the supraspinatus tendon is not serious and is only a minor contusion, it is usually able to recover on its own without additional treatment.  Therefore, when a patient has a supraspinatus tendon injury, he or she should go to the orthopedic department of a hospital in time to be evaluated by a professional physician to determine the extent of the supraspinatus tendon injury and take appropriate treatment measures. After the symptoms are relieved, early functional exercises of supraspinatus tendon can be performed.
