Tendon That Attaches To Front Of Shoulder And Goes Over Back Torn In Half. Is It A Problem Fixing It ?
I have been informed that the tendon that attaches to the front of the shoulder and goes over your back has been torn in half. It has gone down my back and is going to very extensive surgery and they are not sure it can be done. This information has been gathered after x-rays and mri has been done. I was trying to see where this tendon is located and see a picture of it. I also tore another tendon in the shoulder and they said that it would be no problem fixing it.
