Abstract
Patients have a strong preference for biceps tenodesis rather than a tenotomy in both Eastern and Western countries, regardless of age, and the annual number of biceps tenodeses has significantly increased in recent years. Previous studies have supported the use of suture anchors in biceps tenodesis. All-suture anchors are also a viable option because of their comparable biomechanical properties and the lower risk of humerus fractures. Recent research has evaluated the clinical outcomes after subpectoral biceps tenodesis using all-suture anchors. Encouragingly, satisfactory clinical outcomes have been reported, making this technique more attractive in clinical practice.
