You are right Nancy. Most surgeons in the US use the dissolvable anchors. They started doing that because too many times the surgeon had to go in and remove the permanent ones as they caused problems, i.e. the anchor migrated to an area of the shoulder and caused a sharp painful catching. It's the same reason many times a surgeon removes hardware in, for instance, a broken bone that has a plate and/or screws. Later they cause pain and have to be removed. Just my opinion, but I think you are smart to go with the biodegradable ones. By the time they dissolve, 1 to 2 years, the tissues are healed and the bone has grown up and over where the tendon was reattached.
