Which pair is involved in Arthroflex attachment in SCR?

• A. Superior Glenoid and Supraspinatus
• B. Inferior Glenoid and Infraspinatus
• C. Coracoid process and Subscapularis
• D. Glenoid rim and Teres Minor

Answer: (A)

In reconstructing the superior capsule for irreparable rotator cuff tears, the ArthroFlex graft is placed to recreate the static restraints that keep the humeral head from migrating upward. The graft is fixed medially to the superior rim of the glenoid and laterally to the footprint of the supraspinatus on the greater tuberosity. This pairing—superior glenoid with the supraspinatus region—provides the proper medial-to-lateral tension to restore the superior capsular restraint and maintain humeral head position during movement. Attachments to other structures (like the inferior glenoid, coracoid area, or other rotator cuff muscles) would not reproduce the same stable superior constraint, which is why the correct pairing is the superior glenoid and the supraspinatus area.
