Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis for Bicipital Tendonitis With SLAP Tear

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing subpectoral biceps tenodesis for bicipital tendonitis with a superior labral anterior-posterior (SLAP) tear. Patients undergoing primary subpectoral biceps tenodesis for arthroscopically confirmed SLAP tears with signs...read more

Postoperative Restoration of Upper Extremity Motion and Neuromuscular Control During the Overhand Pitch

Superior Labral Anterior-Posterior (SLAP) Tears Superior labral anterior-posterior (SLAP) tears are found in 6% to 26% of shoulder arthroscopic procedures, and the rising incidence of repair has far outpaced the rising incidence of shoulder arthroscopic surgery. Overhead throwing is...read more

Glenohumeral Function of the Long Head of the Biceps Muscle: An Electromyographic Analysis

BACKGROUND: Optimal treatment of superior labral anterior-posterior (SLAP) tears is controversial, in part because the dynamic role of the long head of the biceps muscle (LHBM) in the glenohumeral joint is unclear. The aim of this study was to...read more

Effect of Interference Screw Depth on Fixation Strength in Biceps Tenodesis

The function of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) remains under intense debate. It has been postulated as both a stabilizer within the glenohumeral joint and a vestigial structure assisting with proprioception. Although the exact function of...read more

Long Head of the Biceps Tendinopathy: Diagnosis and Management

Tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps brachii encompasses a spectrum of pathology ranging from inflammatory tendinitis to degenerative tendinosis. Disorders of the long head of the biceps often occur in conjunction with other shoulder pathology. A thorough...read more

Biceps Tenodesis With Interference Screw Fixation: A Biomechanical Comparison of Screw Length and Diameter

Numerous surgical procedures have been suggested to address pathology associated with the long head of the biceps tendon. Techniques range from simple debridement to tenotomy or tenodesis. Currently, there is no consensus as to whether tenotomy or tenodesis is...read more
