To repair a tendon of the cap is to re-fix it on the humerus at its tuberosity (tubercle bone) where it is normally attached (inserted).
It is necessary to use anchoring systems (so called ‘anchors’ but resembling screws) or using the passage of sutures crossing the bone.
These son or anchors have the objective of maintaining the tendon during the tendon healing phase with the bone, the only guarantee that the tendon will be firmly and permanently attached to the bone and therefore functional.
