What is a rotator cuff injury definition?
Well, your 'rotator cuff' is comprised of four muscles: Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and Subscapularis. These four muscles encompass, and therefore stabolize, the glenohumeral joint (the joint where your arm[humerus bone] joins your shoulder blade[scapula bone]). These muscles help move your arm at the shoulder in all angles. So, if you have a 'rotator cuff tear' it is an injury or strain to one or more of these muscles.

The primary treatment is getting the joint back into proper positioning, then resting the shoulder and, for minor tears and inflammation, applying ice packs.

What may happen to aligament of the arm if you pull a heavy object too hard?
What happened to my own arm and shoulder was that I suffered a rotator cuff tear in my right shoulder, years ago, which still bothers me when trying to lift heavy objects or if I should twist my arm in some way. I was offered surgery at the time but decided the trauma of surgery was less desirable than coping with the rotator cuff tear. I was wrong. If you should encounter such an accident, by all means have the surgery if you're sufficiently well to undergo it.
