Comparison of Outcomes Between Biceps Tenotomy and Tenodesis in the Treatment of the Long Head of the Biceps Pathology

A biceps tenotomy procedure involves cutting of the long head of the biceps just prior to its insertion on the superior labrum of the glenoid.

Biceps tenodesis involves detaching the long head of the biceps from it's superior labrum in the shoulder and reattaching it to the humerus bone just below the shoulder.
