Abstract
HYPOTHESIS: We aimed to determine patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing open subpectoral biceps tenodesis with a dual-fixation construct who had no postoperative range-of-motion or weight-bearing restrictions. Our hypothesis was that patients without postoperative restrictions would have low failure rates with improved patient-reported outcomes. We further hypothesized that this technique would allow an earlier return to activity and similar functional outcomes when compared with those reported in the literature. METHODS: In this institutional review board-approved retrospective outcome study, we evaluated 105 patients who underwent primary open subpectoral biceps tenodesis with a bicortical suture button and interference screw construct without postoperative restrictions. The primary outcome measure was failure of the biceps tenodesis. Postoperative outcome scores included the Short Form 12 (SF-12) Physical Component Score; SF-12 Mental Component Score; American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons total score and subscales; and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score. RESULTS: A total of 98 patients (85%) were available for final follow-up at an average of 3.5 years. There were 2 failures (2.2%), at 5 weeks and 9 weeks postoperatively. Four patients underwent additional surgery unrelated to the previous tenodesis procedure. Final outcome scores indicated high levels of function, including the SF-12 Physical Component Score (mean, 51.5; SD, 7.8), SF-12 Mental Component Score (mean, 54.7; SD, 6.7), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons total score (mean, 89.4; SD, 14.2), and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score (mean, 11.3; SD, 13.4). CONCLUSION: Open subpectoral biceps tenodesis using a dual-fixation construct with no postoperative motion restrictions resulted in excellent outcomes with a low incidence of failure.
