The rotator cuff is made up of four main tendons: the supraspinatus, subscapularis, infraspinatus, and the teres minor. These tendons originate on the scapula and attach onto the humeral head, securing the upper arm in the shoulder joint and allowing for normal shoulder mechanics like lift and rotation. The rotator cuff tendons can be injured acutely but are more frequently torn due to degeneration over time. Tears of the rotator cuff tendons can be classified as partial or full thickness tears.

When faced with a rotator cuff tear, a single or double row repair technique can be used to fixate the torn tendon back down to the bone. CONMED's CuffLink™ double-row solution offers increased tensioning control and reduced tissue abrasion.¹ Eliminate guesswork and take control of your repair with these simple, reproducible techniques.
