Rotator Cuff full tear and retraction of supraspinatus tendon

Did you have the supraspinatus tendon reattached? I have a full-thickness tear with tendon retraction which makes reattachment problematic.

Yes. It had detached and the doc pulled it back over the bone and put a layer of collagen over the top to assist with healing. The labrum tear had to be tacked down with two clamps which will remain there. The biceps tear was simply sutured. He said that reattaching the biceps used to be done a lot but would fail in a higher % than those that healed correctly.
