Loop Vs. Anchor Tenodesis of the Long Head of the Biceps Brachii Tendon

Sponsor: Krankenhaus Barmherzige Schwestern Linz

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if loop tenodesis is as effective as suture anchor tenodesis for treating long head of biceps (LHB) pathology. It will also assess the safety and outcomes of both techniques. The main questions it aims to answer are: How effective is loop tenodesis compared to suture anchor tenodesis in preventing shoulder deformities and maintaining biomechanical strength? What complications or failures occur with each technique? Researchers will compare suture anchor tenodesis using the Arthrex FiberTak system with loop tenodesis (an implant-free technique). Participants will: Undergo surgery with either suture anchor tenodesis or loop tenodesis, assigned randomly. Be informed about the procedure and sign a consent form prior to surgery. Have their clinical outcomes evaluated and compared before and after their treatment.
