Description
Hyun Gon Kim and co-authors study tear shapes in shoulder tendon repair in a 2026 paper. Tendon tear shape may shape whether a repair can cover the bone fully. Few clinical studies have compared results across clear tear patterns. Records covered patients who had scope based repair of upper shoulder tendon tears.
Tears were sorted into five shapes during surgery, from crescent to trapezoid. Crescent tears were the most common, and trapezoid tears the hardest to repair fully. One L shaped pattern showed the lowest rate of incomplete repair. Tear size and muscle fat content linked to re tearing after surgery in simple checks.
