Dear friend
I understand your concern for your grandfather. Shoulder pain with muscle tear if not getting relieved even after exercises and physiotherapy, then definitely surgery is the option best suitable to reduce pain. In this age, usually 2 options are available.
Arthroscopy and Rotator cuff repair or Reverse shoulder replacement if cuff is not repairable. Both these surgeries are costly surgeries and require special skills.
