Plain-language guides to the tendons and ligaments Aevumed products help repair — written for patients, not textbooks.

Shoulder — Rotator Cuff

The rotator cuff is a set of four muscle tendons that connect your upper arm bone to your chest, letting you move and rotate your arm.

Shoulder & Upper Arm

The biceps tendon connects the biceps muscle to the shoulder and forearm, making it essential for lifting, rotating, and flexing the arm.

Shoulder

The labrum is a ring of cartilage that deepens the shoulder socket and keeps the joint stable.

Lower Leg

The Achilles tendon connects your calf muscles to your heel bone — the strongest tendon in your body.

Hip

The hip labrum is a ring of cartilage around the socket of your hip joint, providing stability and cushioning.

Thumb Base

The carpometacarpal (CMC) joint at the base of your thumb is one of the most-used joints in the body.

Chest & Shoulder

The pectoralis major is the large chest muscle that helps push, press, and rotate your arm across your body.

Knee

Each knee has two menisci — C-shaped cartilage pads that cushion the joint and absorb shock when you walk, run, and turn.

Foot & Ankle

Ligaments in the foot and ankle hold the bones together and keep the arch and joints stable with every step.

Knee

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stabilizes your knee during cutting, pivoting, and landing.
