摘要：
A tendon repair implant for treatment of a partial thickness tear in the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder is provided. The implant may incorporate features of rapid deployment and fixation by arthroscopic means that compliment current procedures tensile properties that result in desired sharing of anatomical load between the implant and native tendon during rehabilitation selected porosity and longitudinal pathways for tissue in-growth sufficient cyclic straining of the implant in the longitudinal direction to promote remodeling of new tissue to tendon-like tissue and, may include a bioresorbable construction to provide transfer of additional load to new tendon-like tissue and native tendon over time.
