Mini-Open Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Bicep Tendinitis

• Registration Number: NCT07014813
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

Surgical management of long head of biceps (LHB) lesions is frequent, often alongside other shoulder issues. When conservative treatment fails, tenotomy (for low-demand patients) or tenodesis (preferred for active individuals) is performed. Subpectoral tenodesis offers advantages, and this study assesses a novel press-fit bony plug technique for this approach, evaluating its safety and efficacy.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The proportion of patients reported having at least a 50% Increase in their Amircan Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) Scoring, and decrease in their pain (measured according to VAS score) with no loss in the range of motion.	42 Months	The Success rate of sub-pectoral fixation of the biceps tendon was assessed as that there was proportion of patients who achieved a clinically significant improvement in shoulder and elbow function (at least a 50% increase in ASES score), a notable reduction in pain (decrease in VAS score), while maintaining their ange of motion.
