Biceps Tenodesis Arthroscopic vs. Open

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses biceps pain and the various pathologies that can cause it, such as inflammation, instability, and rupture. The speaker explains the options for treating biceps pain, including bicep stenotomy and tenodesis, and highlights the potential benefits of tenodesis. They compare the arthroscopic and open subpectoral techniques for tenodesis and reference studies that find no significant differences in outcomes between the two techniques. The speaker also discusses the impact of concomitant rotator cuff tears on clinical outcomes and complications associated with biceps tenodesis. Finally, they share their preference for subpectoral tenodesis due to its simplicity and reliable results.
