The biceps tendon is a common pain generator in the shoulder. Long head of the biceps tendon pathology occurs in a variety of different ways. There are several different treatment options available to address the long head of the biceps. With advances in arthroscopy, all-arthroscopic tenodesis is becoming a more popular choice to address biceps tendon pathology. We describe an all-arthroscopic technique, termed "the loop-lock," for performing a biceps tenodesis.

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.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical value of diagnostic tests for the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) injuries in the setting of a Patte stage 1 supraspinatus tendon rupture.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort multicenter study of 361 patients aged 30 to 80 years with Patte stage 1 distal supraspinatus tendon rupture. The LHBT was assessed clinically by palpation of the bicipital groove, the speed test, the Yergason test and the Kibler test.

Background: Ruptures of the distal biceps tendon (DBT) can affect the range of motion and strength of the elbow, raising concerns for patients seeking to restore normal function and engage in their regular activities, particularly returning to previous levels of sport participation.

Purpose: To characterize and assess the rate and timing of return to sport (RTS) after DBT repair.

Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Shoulder Injury Related to Vaccine Administration (SIRVA) is a complication caused by improperly administered vaccinations. It triggers an inflammatory cascade that damages shoulder structures, resulting in prolonged shoulder pain and restricted range of motion. Common diagnoses in SIRVA patients include shoulder bursitis (all classified as subacromial bursitis), adhesive capsulitis, and rotator cuff injuries such as tears or tendinopathy.

Amyloidosis is a deadly systemic disease in which misfolded proteins accumulate in human tissue eventually leading to morbid dysfunction in multiple organ systems. The prognosis of untreated amyloidosis is poor. Orthopedic manifestations of amyloidosis include carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), trigger digit, distal biceps tendon rupture, rotator cuff disease, and lumbar spinal stenosis.
