Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of concomitant biceps tenodesis in patients undergoing shoulder arthroplasty for primary osteoarthritis. Six hundred eighty-eight shoulders that had undergone replacement for primary glenohumeral arthritis were reviewed at a mean 43 months postoperatively. One hundred twenty-one patients had undergone a biceps tenodesis at arthroplasty, while the remaining patients did not. Tenodesis was significantly better than no tenodesis in most outcome parameters. No difference was found between the groups in complication rate. Biceps tenodesis is a useful adjunct to shoulder arthroplasty in the treatment of primary osteoarthritis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
