Clinical Trial Summary

The most important functions of the biceps brachii muscle are flexion and supination of the elbow. Patients with a partial or complete rotator cuff tear often suffer a lesion of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT). The two most common surgical treatments options are tenotomy or tenodesis. This study is to assess the Supination Strength Index (SSI) (the operated side in relation to the healthy side) after proximal biceps tenotomy versus tenodesis.
