Biceps Tenodesis vs. Repair for Type II SLAP Tears in Patients Under 30 years-old

摘要

Objectives:Recent literature has demonstrated good results with biceps tenodesis (BT) following failed SLAP repair. However, it is still unclear if repair or BT provides better outcomes for treatment of type II SLAP tears. We hypothesize that treatment of type II SLAP tears with subpectoral biceps tenodesis vs SLAP repair improves functional outcomes while providing for shorter rehabilitation times.
