Abstract: Surgical constructs, assemblies, and methods for rotator cable reinforcement with a flexible coupler and an optional reinforcement material. The rotator cable between the attachment points is reinforced with a suture in different configurations. The anchor points are located at the insertion sites of the rotator cable and a continuous stitch reinforces the rotator cable. The continuous stitch bridges the cable footprint insertion points, to displace forces from the rotator cuff tendon.
