AB This article discusses data from a matched cadaveric study that was conducted to compare the arthroscopic suprapectoral and open subpectoral techniques for biceps tenodesis. The data showed that the arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis technique results in a more proximal tenodesis location, tends to overtension the biceps, and has a significantly reduced ultimate load to failure, compared with an open subpectoral biceps tenodesis technique.
