Mini abstract US military assets have been integral to the response to global pandemics, natural disasters, civilian casualties, and combat care. Strategies are being implemented to strengthen the military health care system and curtail the erosion of relevant surgical skills and knowledge during periods of low combat intensity.

Purpose: To evaluate the maximal load to failure, cyclic displacement, stiffness, and modes of failure of onlay subpectoral biceps tenodesis with an intramedullary unicortical metal button (MB) versus an inlay, all-suture Caspari-Weber (CW) technique.

Methods: Sixteen matched paired human cadaveric proximal humeri were randomly allocated for subpectoral BT with either CW or MB using a high-strength suture (N = 16; 8 male, 8 female, mean age = 82.5 years, range 62-99 years).
