Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the use of surgical techniques for treating anterior shoulder pain caused by the long head of the biceps. They compare the outcomes of arthroscopic and mini-open procedures, as well as the use of different fixation devices. The speaker presents the findings of a randomized control trial and a biomechanical study, and then introduces a new study using radiostereometric analysis to compare arthroscopic and open techniques with interference screws and single suture anchors. The speaker reviews the methodology and results of the study, including bead migration and patient-reported outcomes. They also mention complications and limitations of the study. In conclusion, the speaker suggests that arthroscopic and open tenodesis with an interference screw provides good outcomes, while cautioning about the risk of Popeye deformities and the importance of proper technique and anchor selection.
