Editorial Commentary: How Can I Tenodese the Biceps Tendon of the Shoulder? Let Me Count the Ways.

The debate regarding the management of long head of the biceps tendon pathology continues to evolve. Previous literature has compared tenotomy and tenodesis, tenodesis above or below the pectoralis major tendon, tenodesis to bony or soft tissue sites, and a host of fixation methods. Recent research compares biomechanical fixation between an all-suture anchor and interference screw for arthroscopic tenodesis. Although the methods have similar biomechanical properties, time-zero cadaveric data has inherent limitations, and importantly, there is a substantial cost differential between these and other implants that surgeons should also consider when choosing a tenodesis method.
