Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators aimed to compare two different forearm positions, extension-pronation (EP) or neutral, for fixation of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) in biceps tenodesis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Long head of biceps pathologies have been regarded as a source of anterior shoulder pain and disability. Tenodesis is preferable surgical choice for especially young patients to to eliminate anterior shoulder pain. The optimal position of the elbow and forearm during tenodesis is a debated topic. The investigators aimed to evaluate pain and strength loss after biceps tenodesis fixed at extension-pronation (EP) and neutral positions. The investigators aimed to find the most appropriate and anatomical arm position that gives better clinical and functional results.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Fixated in the EP position

Long head of biceps tenodesis was performed for 25 patients whose joints were fixated while forearm in the extension-pronation (EP) position

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Fixation while forearm in extension-pronation position

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Fixation was performed after tenodesis in the extension-pronation position, which is the anatomically most suitable position of the biceps tendon.

Fixated in the neutral position

Long head of biceps tenodesis was performed for 25 patients whose joints were fixated while forearm in the neutral position (elbow 90 degrees flexed and hands positioned with the thump pointing up

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
