In SCR, Arthroflex is attached to which two structures?

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

Answer: (C)

In Superior Capsule Reconstruction, the graft is placed to recreate the superior restraints of the shoulder joint by spanning from the superior glenoid to the humeral side. Arthroflex is fixed medially to the superior rim of the glenoid and laterally to the footprint of the supraspinatus on the greater tuberosity. This setup restores a key stabilizing layer, helping to keep the humeral head centered and preventing superior migration, which is crucial in cases of massive rotator cuff tears where the native capsule is compromised. Attaching to the inferior glenoid, infraspinatus, coracoid, or subscapularis would not provide the intended superior restraint or the correct anatomical bridge for the reconstruction.
