Study Summary
One of the common complaints after SLAP repair is pain and stiffness. However, the more recently-described Biceps Tenodesis for SLAP tears improves upon this by addressing the long head of biceps which is thought to be the pain sources. However, only one small prior RCT has evaluated this, finding minimal difference. Both procedures are currently considered standard of care, and are decided upon based on patient and surgeon preference. This will be a single-center randomized controlled trial. The study is comparing SLAP repair and biceps tenodesis in patients under 30 undergoing surgery for SLAP tears. The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the effect of SLAP repair versus biceps tenodesis in the management of SLAP tears in patients under 30 years old.
Primary Outcome
The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain possible." The total score range is 0-10. The higher the score, the higher the pain level experienced.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Self-Locking Tenotomy
