Dear Madam,
I can understand your concern. Partial thickness tears are often quite painful. A trial of conservative management I warranted . However if that fails an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is recommended. A detailed clinical examination by an Orthopaedic Shoulder specialist is recommended.

Such tears in the Supraspinatus tendon usually heal well with meds and physio. At the same time, he needs to avoid over head activities with the affected arm.
If pain is not relieved with meds, he may benefit from a steroid shot into the sub acromial region.
