Case-control comparison of in-the-groove and lateral-row arthroscopic biceps tenodesis with concomitant rotator cuff repair

摘要

Lateral-row (LR) arthroscopic biceps tenodesis (BT) has been described as a technique using an LR rotator cuff repair (RCR) anchor for biceps fixation. This technique has not been compared with other BT techniques. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing a suprapectoral “in-the-groove” arthroscopic BT and patients treated with an LR tenodesis performed in conjunction with arthroscopic RCR.
