The long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is a common source of anterior shoulder pain, frequently addressed during rotator cuff repairs. Surgical management typically involves either tenotomy or tenodesis, each offering distinct advantages and disadvantages. Tenotomy, a straightforward procedure with a short rehabilitation period, is well-suited for low-demand patients but carries a higher risk of Popeye deformity and cramping pain.

Purpose: To compare clinical and radiologic outcomes between biceps anchor tenodesis (AT), biceps soft-tissue tenodesis (ST), and biceps tenotomy (TT) for patients with concomitant rotator cuff repair (RCR).

Methods: This retrospective study reviewed patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR for full-thickness rotator cuff tears with AT, ST, or TT with minimum 2-year follow-up. All biceps procedures were performed arthroscopically, and ST consisted of fixation to the transverse humeral ligament.

Objective: To retrospectively evaluate clinical outcomes, including function and pain, of patients after our all arthroscopic "whole layer" rotator cuff repair technique with simultaneous biceps tenodesis procedure; factors influencing results were also evaluated. Given the frequent association of rotator cuff tear with long head of biceps lesion and the need for effective combined treatment strategies, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of our technique and compare it with established methods. We hypothesized that our technique would significantly improve function and reduce pain in patients with rotator cuff tears and biceps pathology.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates factors leading to the development of Popeye's deformity, a common complication (13%-70% incidence) after long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) tenotomy, to improve patient selection for surgery.
  • 91 patients undergoing rotator cuff repairs and LHBT tenotomy were analyzed based on demographics, physical attributes, and postoperative satisfaction through various pain and shoulder function scores at 6 and 24 months post-operation.
  • Results showed a 58.9% incidence of Popeye's sign, with lower body mass index (BMI) and higher biceps to wrist circumference ratios linked to deformity, but it did not impact overall clinical outcomes or patient satisfaction after 24 months.

Background: Biceps tendon pathology is a common source of pain in the shoulder. It is frequently seen in conjunction with symptomatic rotator cuff tears. Biceps tendon management during arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs can be achieved via tenodesis with various techniques or tenotomy.
