Editorial Commentary: Shoulder Biceps Tenodesis Implant Selection Requires Consideration of Complications and Cost

The long head of biceps tendon (LHB) has been evaluated as one of the most important pain generators of the shoulder. In addition, an unstable LHB can cause cartilage lesions of the humerus. For the treatment of LHB lesions, tenodesis or tenotomy has been shown to be appropriate. A well-performed biceps tenodesis provides a lower rate of Popeye-sign deformities compared with tenotomy but must result in low implant complication rates and costs.
