Video Summary

In this video, the speaker presents a study on biceps tenodesis, a technique used to treat anterior shoulder pain caused by the longhead biceps tendon. The study compares different fixation devices and approaches, including arthroscopic and open methods. Radiographic outcomes were measured by tracking the migration of a tantalum bead attached to the tendon. The results showed that there was significant migration in the group using a single all-suture anchor compared to the interference screw group. However, this migration did not have a clinically significant impact on patient-reported outcomes. The study also found that heavier patients and those with less tendon migration were more likely to achieve clinically significant outcome thresholds. The speaker suggests considering the interference screw for subpectoral biceps tenodesis in certain patient populations.
