This study evaluated the effects of concomitant biceps tenodesis in patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis. Six hundred eighty-eight shoulders that had undergone replacement for primary glenohumeral arthritis were reviewed at a mean 43 months postoperatively. One hundred twenty-one patients had undergone a biceps tenodesis at arthroplasty, while the remaining patients did not. Tenodesis was significantly better than no tenodesis in most outcome parameters. No difference was found between the groups in complication rate. Biceps tenodesis is a useful adjunct to shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of primary osteoarthritis.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the presence of spin in abstracts of systematic reviews and meta-analyses comparing biceps tenodesis and tenotomy outcomes and to explore associations between spin and specific study characteristics.

Methods: Using Web of Science and PubMed databases, systematic reviews and meta-analyses comparing outcomes of biceps tenodesis and tenotomy were identified. Abstracts were evaluated for the nine most severe types of spin as described by Yavchitz et al.

Purpose: Tendon-to-bone repair remains a surgical challenge. Although bone tunnel fixation is a common surgical technique whereby soft tissue is expected to heal against a bone tunnel interface, contemporary methods have yet to recapitulate biomechanical similarity to the native enthesis. In this study, we aimed to understand how inside-out longitudinal tendon inversion affects bone tunnel healing with the hypothesis that inversion removes the gliding epitenon surface to facilitate interface healing.

Background: The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of an arthroscopic knotless double-row (DR) rotator cuff repair (RCR) technique at 2- and 5- years postoperatively, and to compare clinical outcomes in patients undergoing knotless DR RCR with incorporated lateral row biceps tenodesis (LRT) vs. those without LRT.

Methods: All primary RCR surgeries were performed by a single surgeon at a single institution using a knotless transosseous equivalent (TOE) technique.

Department of Orthopedics, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200072, People's Republic of China.

Purpose: Shoulder arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears with simultaneous treatment of lesions of the long head of the biceps tendon has become increasingly accepted. However, the clinical outcomes between tenotomy and tenodesis remain unclear. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of tenotomy and tenodesis combined with rotator cuff repair in elderly patients with medium-to-massive rotator cuff tears.

Introduction: Alkaptonuria is a metabolic disorder due to accumulation of homogentisic acid, leading to destruction of major joints. Very few cases of ochronosis with shoulder involvement have been reported in literature.

Case Report: We report a 31-year-old male who presented with shoulder pain for 4 months.
