Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the midterm clinical, cosmetic, and strength outcomes of two surgical techniques—arthroscopic biceps tenotomy and subpectoral biceps tenodesis—in patients with long head of biceps (LHB) pathologies.
- Results showed that the tenodesis group had a significantly better Long Head of Biceps Score and lower rates of the Popeye deformity compared to the tenotomy group, but both techniques had similar scores for shoulder function and strength.
- Overall, tenodesis improved LHB function without enhancing elbow flexion or forearm supination strength, and complications were rare, with only one case of postoperative shoulder stiffness noted in the tenotomy group.
