Abstract
Pathology of the biceps tendon is often a factor in the pathogenesis of shoulder pain. However, diagnosis and management of such pathology remains controversial. Multiple tests have been described to identify pathology related to the biceps tendon and biceps anchor. The active compression test is one such test that has been used clinically to identify patients with superior labral/biceps anchor pathology. An arthroscopic version of this test is described to identify biceps pathology intraoperatively and to aid the surgeon in making diagnostic and treatment decisions.
