2017 AAOS Annual Meeting: Biceps Tenodesis Versus Tenotomy in the Treatment of Lesions of the Long Head of Biceps Brachii in Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

112 patients scheduled for arthroscopic management of a lesion of the long head of biceps brachii tendon were randomized to undergo either tenodesis or tenotomy. Follow-up was planned for 24 months postoperative, and outcomes reported included the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Score and cosmetic outcome. Based on available 12-month data, differences between groups were not significant for either function on the ASES score or in the incidence of cosmetic deformity.
