Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses biceps pain and different treatment options. They mention that the biceps is a pain generator and causes various pathologies like inflammation, instability, and rupture. To alleviate the pain, the speaker explores two surgical techniques: biceps tenotomy and biceps tenodesis. They compare the benefits of each technique, such as preservation of elbow strength and decreased post-operative pain. The speaker also presents findings from systematic reviews and studies that show similar outcomes for both techniques with minimal differences. They discuss factors to consider when choosing a technique, such as age, body habitus, and infection risk. The speaker concludes with a personal bias towards the subpectoral tenodesis technique due to its ease and reliable results.
