German term or phrase: Shutteln des Armierfadens
The above is from an operation report (shoulder arthroscopy including tenodesis). The context is as follows:

Unter arthroskopischer Sicht erfolgt das Anschlingen der Bicepssehne und das Anfrischen des Sulcus intertubercularis mittels Synovial-Shaver. Einbringen einer 5.5 Corkscrew und "Shutteln des Armierfadens". Verknoten der Fäden.

Thanks in advance for your help!

this was bothering me a bit because of the "Armierfaden", 1 hit, no reference in UrbanFisher, nada, I really have to assume that "Armier" was used as in "reinforce".
