Abstract
We describe a method of placing an electrically conductive catheter onto the suprascapular nerve for intraoperative electrical stimulation of the nerve. This causes contractions of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles that indicate rotator cuff viability, suitability for repair, direction in which the fibers contract, and the tear pattern.Mesh：
