Biceps Tenodesis Versus Tenotomy with Fast Rehabilitation Protocol—A Functional Perspective in Chronic Tendinopathy

Abstract: The study aimed to evaluate the results after arthroscopic tenodesis and tenotomy of the biceps tendon (LHBT), coupled in tenotomy modality with a personalized postoperative rehabilitation protocol. The study included patients who underwent arthroscopic biceps tenotomy or tenodesis due to chronic biceps tendinopathy. Postoperatively, a standard rehabilitation program was prescribed to the tenodesis group and personalized was introduced in the tenotomy group, respectively. The outcomes were assessed using the A… Show more

“…Advocators of the tenotomy without tenodesis argue that it is a cost-effective and simple pain-relieving method, while those of the tenodesis that simple tenotomy may result in weakness on elbow flexion and supination, cramps, and popeye-sign deformity [ 39 ]. However, the literature so far reported no difference in pain relief and functional outcome between the two techniques [ 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ]. In the third option, the LHBT is left intact and is supposed to create a tenodesis effect and a downward force to the humeral head, increasing the AHD and preventing the progression to cuff tear arthropathy [ 18 , 25 , 26 ].…”

“…There is a group of tendons that contain specific hypovascular regions that lead to poor regeneration and predispose the tendons to pathology [4,6,7,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Moreover, these specific tendons are usually exposed to increased forces with various vectors of action, e.g., the rotator cuff tendons, the long head of the biceps tendon, Achilles tendon, posterior tibialis tendon, patellar tendon, gluteal tendons, and the tibialis anterior tendon.…”

“…Therefore, a method is necessary in order to overcome postoperative pain and rehabilitation [ 7 ]. Previous studies on the treatment of patients with rotator cuff repairs have provided promising clinical outcomes with personalized postoperative rehabilitation protocol [ 8 , 9 ].…”
