Open surgical and other joint operations: Open surgical refixation and plasty of the capsular ligaments in the shoulder joint: Reconstruction of the rotator cuff by suture

You have had surgery on one or more tendons in your shoulder joint.

The shoulder joint is the joint between the shoulder blade and the humerus. The shoulder has a muscle group made up of 4 muscles. The muscles begin to the front and rear of the shoulder blade. Tendons attach them to the humerus at the top. These muscles stabilize the shoulder joint and are involved in various arm movements.

If the tendons of the muscles around the shoulder joint are damaged, the shoulder joint can become unstable. This can make arm movements problematic.

One or more tendons in your shoulder joint have been sutured and reattached to the bone.
