Abstract
In a Level IV evidence systematic review of 16 studies comparing arthroscopic and open biceps tenodesis, both techniques showed good or excellent short-term subjective and objective clinical outcomes in 98% of subjects. Ultimately, technique selection may be based on surgeon preference. In open tenodesis, one should avoid vigorous medial retraction to mitigate the risk of nerve injury.
