Video Summary

This video discusses a study comparing the arthroscopic superpectoral technique to the mini-open subpectoral technique for biceps tenodesis (treatment for long head biceps tendon pathology). The study evaluated construct stability and tendon lengthening remodeling in both groups and found no significant difference in clinical outcomes or functional outcomes between the two techniques. However, the arthroscopic approach took longer and removed less tendon tissue. The study also observed significant bead migration, indicating construct stability, and significant tendon lengthening at three months post-surgery. This study suggests that tendon elongation occurs regardless of the technique used and does not affect clinical outcomes. Further investigation in suture anchors and button techniques is planned. No credits were mentioned in the video.
