If a shoulder tendon is torn and cannot be repaired there any way it can using tissue from another in the body?

In cases where the tendon is torn beyond repair, alternatives such as tendon grafting may be considered. One technique involves using tissue called the "gracilis tendon" from the inner thigh. This tendon can be transferred to replace the torn shoulder tendon. The surgeon detaches the gracilis tendon along with a small piece of bone and inserts it into the shoulder, replacing the torn tendon and allowing for healing.
