Radiostereometric Analysis of Biceps Tenodesis: A Prospective Comparison of All-Suture Anchor vs. Interference Screw, Arthroscopic and Mini-Open Techniques

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a study on different surgical techniques for treating anterior shoulder pain caused by the long head of the biceps. The study compared arthroscopic and mini-open techniques using interference screws and all suture anchors. Radiostereometric analysis was used to evaluate the biceps tenodesis construct. The results showed that interference screws had less migration and equivalent outcomes compared to all suture anchors. There were no significant clinical differences between arthroscopic and mini-open techniques at a 2.9-year follow-up. However, the open technique with a single suture, all suture anchor had significantly greater migration at three months. The study concluded that interference screws are a better option but should be carefully used to avoid over-tensioning.
