Abstract
Histological lesions of tendinous stumps of cuff ruptures correspond roughly to tendinous macroscopic lesions. They could be at the origin of iterative ruptures that take place after simple tendon-bone sutures of ruptured cuffs which are not accounted for by muscular fatty degeneration. They could also partly account for iterative ruptures taking place when pre operative fatty degeneration is evident. It seems logical to resect macroscopically abnormal tendinous stumps before performing a suture. But the tendon-bone suture without tension is then often possible only with musculo-tendinoplasties.
