Which pairing correctly describes Arthroflex's attachment in SCR?

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

Answer: (B)

In this procedure the graft is placed to recreate the superior capsule by anchoring it medially to the superior glenoid and laterally to the supraspinatus area on the humeral side. This setup creates a “hammock” that resists the humeral head’s tendency to migrate upward when the rotator cuff is torn. Describing Arthroflex’s attachment as the superior glenoid on the medial side and the supraspinatus region on the lateral side matches the intended repair plane: the graft is fixed at the superior glenoid ring and secured where the supraspinatus inserts on the greater tuberosity, providing the correct biomechanical restraint. Attaching medially to other structures like the coracoid or subscapularis, or using the inferior glenoid, would not reproduce the desired superior-stabilizing anatomy.
