I've been kicking this around for several days and just can't come up with the English. There's got to be a specific word or phrase for this. Anyone know it?

INJURY AND REPAIR OF THE ROTATOR CUFF ** TENDON INSERTION SITE **
Tears of the rotator cuff of the shoulder account for a significant portion of the soft tissue injuries in the upper extremity. Full thickness tears most commonly result from avulsion of the cuff tendon from the greater tuberosity, thereby requiring tendon to bone repair. Recreation of the ** insertion site of the tendon ** is critical for the proper functioning of the tendon and for the prevention of re-injury. Little knowledge currently exists about the natural healing process of the region, and hence little can be done to improve the tissue's ability to heal.

Abstract
Orthopedic injuries often require surgical reattachment of tendon to bone. Tendon ends can be sutured to bone by direct apposition to the bone surface or by placement within a bone tunnel. Our objective was to compare early healing of a traditional surface versus a novel tunnel method for repair of the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) ** tendon insertion site ** in a canine model. A total of 70 tendon-bone specimens were analyzed 0, 5, 10 or 21 days after injury and repair, using tensile and range of motion mechanical testing, histology and densitometry. Ultimate force (a measure of repair strength) did not differ between surface and tunnel repairs at day 0. Both repair types had reduced strength at 10 and 21 days compared to 0 days, indicative of deterioration of suture grasping strength (tendon softening). At 21 days, tendons repaired in a bone tunnel had 38% lower ultimate force compared to surface repairs (p = 0.017). Histological findings were comparable between repair groups at 5 and 10 days but differed at 21 days, when we saw evidence of maturation of the tendon-bone interface in the surface repairs compared to an immature fibrous interface with no evidence of tendon-bone integration in the tunnel repairs. After accounting for bone removed by the tunnel, no difference in bone mineral density or trabecular bone volume existed between surface and tunnel repairs. If the results of our animal study extend to healing of the human FDP insertion, they indicate that FDP tendons should be reattached to the distal phalanx by suture to the cortical surface rather than suture in a bone tunnel. © 2006 Orthopaedic Research Society.
