Comparing two techniques for biceps tendon repair in patients without rotator cuff tears

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications associated with self-locking biceps tenodesis versus double-loop 360 lasso biceps tenodesis for treating SLAP lesions in patients who do not have rotator cuff tears. The study seeks to address the lack of consensus on the optimal surgical approach for biceps pathology during shoulder arthroscopy. By comparing these two techniques, the trial hopes to provide clearer guidance on the best treatment options for affected patients.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Full-thickness tears of the rotator cuff diagnosed preoperatively on ultrasound, arthro-CT or MRI.
