Study Summary
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing two common techniques of long head of biceps tendon tenodesis in shoulder surgery. Numerous techniques of biceps tenodesis currently exist and are commonly performed. We will be comparing the tenodesis procedure using a suture anchor device versus a technique where the tendon is simply sutured to the pectoralis major tendon.
Primary Outcome
The LHB score is a composite endpoint (maximum 100 points) that evaluates 'biceps pain and muscle cramps', 'cosmesis', and 'flexion strength at the elbow'. It is an outcome score specific for biceps tendon pathology. The score range is 0-100, with a higher score representing better function. The values represent the scores at 3 and 6 months, not a change of values from Baseline to 3 and 6 months.
