Biomechanical performance of subpectoral biceps tenodesis: a comparison of interference screw fixation, cortical button fixation, and interference screw diameter

Suprapectoral biceps tenodesis: A biomechanical comparison of a new “soft anchor” tenodesis technique versus interference screw biceps tendon fixation

“…All IS techniques failed by tendon tearing at the bone-screw interface, which was not observed in the "soft anchor" but has been frequently reported in the literature (Patzer et al, 2011;Sethi et al, 2013;Slabaugh et al, 2011). The present findings suggest that tendon damage at the bone-screw interface may occur during screw insertion, which is required in the IS technique (Lo and Burkhart, 2004).…”

Regional mechanical properties of the long head of the biceps tendon

“…proximal vs. distal end). The failure mechanism for intact specimens was similar to that seen for interference screw fixation where tissue failure occurs due to tearing at the bone/tendon/screw interface (Koch and Burks, 2012;Mazzocca et al, 2008;Sampatacos et al, 2014;Sethi et al, 2013;Tashjian and Henninger, 2013).…”

A Simple, All-Arthroscopic, Knotless Suture Lasso Loop Technique for Suprapectoral Biceps Tenodesis

“…9,10 Although there have been several biomechanical analyses of differing tenodesis techniques, 6,7,11,12 compelling clinical data showing the superiority of one technique over another have not yet been presented. Patzer et al 7 described a similar technique with a lasso loop Orthocord suture (DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA) and a SwiveLock anchor (Arthrex).…”
