Abstract

This study compares short term failure rates of different biceps tenodesis techniques retrospectively with a mean follow-up of 18 months. We found that arthroscopic and open proximal techniques which do not address the biceps sheath have higher revision rates than techniques which release the biceps sheath or tenodese the tendon in a distal location. This fact has clinical relevance for choosing the correct technique of tenodesis in a patient with biceps pathology.
