“…Recent Level-I evidence has shown that the only difference between tenotomy and tenodesis is that there is an increased rate of postoperative Popeye deformity with tenotomy. This has been reported to occur in 3% to 70% of cases after tenotomy 2 . MacDonald et al performed a prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing clinical outcomes between tenotomy and tenodesis for the treatment of LHBT lesions 46 .…”

“…The first-line treatment of LHBT pathology is nonsurgical management [1][2][3][4][5] . This initially includes rest and activity modification paired with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and physical therapy (PT).…”

“…Other provocative tests that are utilized to detect biceps injuries are the Yergason and Speed tests. The Yergason test is positive in the presence of pain along the bicipital groove during resisted supination with the elbow flexed to 90°, while the Speed test elicits pain in the bicipital groove on resisted forward flexion of the shoulder with the elbow extended and the forearm supinated 2 . Holtby and Razmjou found that both tests are specific but not sensitive in detecting biceps tendinitis, rupture, and SLAP lesions 29 .…”

“…T he anatomy of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is well established, but its function, range of pathoanatomy, and management of its pathology are controversial [1][2][3] . The purpose of this article is to discuss recent updates in the literature regarding the function and the pathophysiology of the LHBT, as well as the diagnosis and the management of LHBT ruptures, with a specific focus on outcomes that compares surgical treatment options, including biceps tenotomy and tenodesis.…”

» Pathology of the long head of the biceps tendon is a common source of shoulder pain and often occurs in combination with other shoulder disorders.» Nonsurgical management, including rest and activity modification, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections, is usually the first line of treatment.» Patients with symptoms that are refractory to nonsurgical management are indicated for biceps tenotomy or various tenodesis procedures.» Although several studies have reported a higher incidence of “Popeye” deformity, muscle cramping, and pain in the bicipital groove postoperatively with tenotomy compared with tenodesis, there are no substantial differences in functional scores or patient satisfaction between the 2 techniques.» To date, both tenotomy and tenodesis have been shown to be effective options in the management of long head of the biceps tendinopathy, and there are advantages to each procedure.
