2021 Annual Meeting Shoulder Access Pass-Single versus Double Suture Anchor Configuration for Arthroscopic Onlay Biceps Tenodesis

Single versus Double Suture Anchor Configuration for Arthroscopic Onlay Biceps Tenodesis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the increasing popularity of arthroscopic bicep stenodesis procedures over the years. It highlights the advantages of this approach, such as better cosmetic results and lower risks of infection or wound issues. However, there are potential disadvantages, including residual groove pain and less reliable fixation. The study compares a single suture anchor construct to a double suture anchor construct, aiming to reduce Popeye deformity rates. The results show a decrease in deformity rates with the double anchor construct, but no significant differences in patient-reported outcomes or revision rates. The cost-benefit analysis and patient factors are considered when choosing between the two approaches.
